Hi - happy holidays!!
Not Ireland I'm afraid Eric - though one day - promise... Wellies and all. Last time I went to Scotland Sue I quartered at the Glasgow YMCA! Plus Wellies! But then I was piloting a very large Triumph motorcycle - that probably cost more than the entire YMCA building back then. Alderney? I think that my wife was once there holidaying with GOSH colleagues, but I have never had the pleasure Caroline...
Blooming Norfolk - I have never gotten over those magnificent Gorleston fish and chips Peter (thanks Steph') but unfortunately the nearest we will get to those will be Stamford - around 13 days time.
For anyone wondering after my whereabouts - a clue! Yesterday I was At BAE Systems being guided around that magnificent Avro Vulcan B2 (XH558) - who still has a couple of displays in her before she retires (around October this year) - I more or less grew up only around 5 miles from the Avro runway and spent many very happy hours getting neck-ache as she took off and landed. The visit was a birthday gift from my son (now our technical wiz kid!). Superb. I was able to touch her once more before her retirement... And our names are in the bomb-bay!! No more Port Stanley's Barry....
But some Absolutely magical gains in consolation - badges, hat and hair pins, sewing gear (ladies) and nurse belts. The latter have already been published - but the former, mouth-wateringly gorgeous addition - well that must await the next news page. Not long now.
Guess about my current (mobile!) location? Wish you were all here....
Will.
