Islander Profile - Phil Middleton
Tour Guide Phil Middleton arrived in the Islands in 1978, as a teacher on a three year contract, working in both Camp and Stanley Schools. The role of tour guide on the Stanley, Farm and Battlefield tours keeps him busy throughout the cruise ship season. His shop Falkland Collectibles caters for collectors and tourists and overseas clients through use of the Internet.
Phil and his American born wife Stella enjoy the traditional lifestyle of peat stoves, baking bread and home-grown produce from their garden. They have two sons away training in England.
Although both Phil and Stella are non-island born, both agree there is no other place they would rather be, and will continue to make the Islands their home.
