I look forward to seeing the finished copy Scott Bateman MBE - it's a great book and a thoroughly enjoyable remember of MANY hours at 250ft down the back of an Albert when on Tactical Communications Wing...

Today sees the memorial service celebrating the life of Wing Commander Tal Lambert-Moore MBE.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family, wishing them peace and healing during this time of loss.

Per ardua ad astra, Tal. We salute you.

Rest in peace.

John Nichol ✈ Rt Hon James Heappey MP That will work well lol

Preparing fish & chips & enjoying a Stella while reflecting on fmr Minister Rt Hon James Heappey MP's suggestion we veterans might need to serve again.
Happy to help out; checked kit in loft & suspect the PTIs will have their work cut out on first parade.
Hope we get SLRs though.
Proper gat!

Just been for a blood test at Hertford County Hospital.
Really efficient, quick, excellent staff, entirely pleasant experience (apart from needles, which I HATE!)
BUT... £3.30 to park for about 10 minutes seemed extortionate?
Who sets these prices East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust My Saba UK?

A LIFE CUT SHORT 6TH APRIL 1944

AA810’s last pilot Sandy Gunn. Murdered 80 years ago today for his part in the #greatescape alongside William Grisman, Tony Hayter, Clement McGarr, Harold Milford, Denys Street, and John Williams.

He was 24 years old.

Monday nights are just the BEST for cop-based telly:
7pm:Traffic Cops
8pm: Motorway Cops
9pm: Inside The Force
But how can someone dangerous driving, drug driving, failing to stop, no license & no insurance attract a MERE suspended sentence?
No respect for societal norms.

I ❤️village life - 3 hrs ago Ralph The Retriever & I set off to help decorate the church for Easter, drop off a card and pick up a torch. Just arrived home with a bunch of flowers, bottle of wine, 6 freshly laid eggs & a box of Purina bonios. There are no shops in our village 🤣

Mr Ralph The Retriever has hundreds of indoor & outdoor toys/balls he can play with. At the moment, his favourite game is collecting & destroying plant pots. Muppet.

On our own yet AGAIN as Mrs Suzannah Nichol 💙💛 is on girls' night out with old school chums (Lord help Kingston Upon Thames).
Me & Ralph enjoying rack of lamb, roasties in beef dripping, cauliflower cheese, red wine & pepper cream sauce & a lovely Malbec.
Halcyon days.
Et tu?

To the conspiracy theorists, the spiteful, the trolls, the haters, the nut-jobs, the delusional, the gossipers, the speculators, the cowards, the so-called (paid £$) 'experts'...perhaps now, you will allow this The Prince and Princess of Wales mother, father, sons & daughter some space?

Took a 'short' break from finishing the new book for a brew & bunged the telly on. Started watching Fletchers' Family Farm on ITV with Emmerdale actor Kelvin Fletcher & wife Liz.
Still enthralled an hour later! What a lovely, heartwarming series, & a lovely family. Smashing.

I’m so close to reaching £5,000! Can you spare a few quid and nudge me over my target for March please? Just click on the image to donate or share this post so someone else might donate. Thank you🙏🏻

Truly sad to hear WW2 Lanc bomb aimer John Bell has died aged 100. He was of that generation of warriors who sacrificed so much for our country.
We enjoyed many chats & red wines; he was a good, honourable, brave man:
'I am proud of my service. I survived. I was lucky.'
RIP Sir

Mrs Suzannah Nichol 💙💛 is home for dinner so I've knocked up a simple shepherd's pie accompanied by creamed spinach & toasted pine nuts.
A few Stella while cheffing & a delightful Bordeaux while chomping.
Ralph The Retriever ever hopeful.
