Instead, the couple chose a holiday destination a bit closer to home, travelling by rail to Cornwall, which Jane described as ‘lovely’.
Al learned about the islands when he saw a film focussed on the wildlife there in 1955, when he was at school. Now a retired university lecturer in microbiology and genetics, he said: ‘In the back of my mind there has always been the thought “one day I’ll go there”.‘I’ve always been into wildlife, and I was fascinated by the Aleutians. They’re volcanic but no longer active.’Al is no stranger to visiting remote places, having previously travelled to Antarctica and the Arctic.
He now gives talks about the wildlife he has seen there. He added: ‘I’m also interested in how the ice is retreating, and concerned about the climate.’ He says that having witnessed at first hand the impact of climate change in the polar regions, he’s now a committed environmental campaigner.

Why new Finnish Prime Minister Sanna Marin's age matters just as much as her genderOn Friday, Britain will choose its next Prime Minister - likely to be a 55-year-old man called Boris, or a 70-year-old bloke named Jeremy. All Marin has to do is play politics for some time until another one takes over. All the work is done by Brussels so no, her age, gender, colour and whatever are irrelevant because in reality, she's just another pretend leader. They have had an inspiring election where everybody’s vote counts, we have a sinister spiteful racist lying election where the only way to even hope to make your vote count is to live in a marginal and vote for someone you like a bit less than the one most likely to win. Her age and gender are unimportant, it's her ability to perform the role that's important.
