I'm pretty sure St Helena has more than two boats a year - otherwise we wouldn't have heard from my brother in law so much. Ascension certainly has several flights a week thanks to UK Airlines (the RAF base).

All the same, it is advisable to post early for St H and Ascension, because if the weather is bad, the boat can't dock on either island.

If Maglan has children, they're probably being taught by my sister in law.
