One more charge and then be dumb,
            When the forts of Folly fall,
        May the victors when they come
            Find my body near the wall.

Dear "Son" having a rest whilst group were having a training session.
 


And here's the "alternative angle" ... they are all engrossed in their talk on guerilla warfare ;D ;D

Good to see you today too Sandy....

Brilliant piccies Milly.  :)

I should have taken one of you and Scrimnet.

You are so good for each other.  :)

See you both at next one with Hubby and real Son and with your
permission do it then.

Can you ask Son who it was that he introduced me to that is on the
photograph with him.

It is a very rare photograph to have been able to take and it was
a delight to have the honour to take it, so I would like to know
his name please.

"Mum"  who was introduced by Son as being born in the Boer War. !!!!!!!!

P.S. I will e-mail the original photographs to you as we have to reduce
them to post here so not as good as originals.

The thing is, mum...you said you were born during the war...I just presumed you meant Boer War... ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I will PM you the name of the chap with whom I am sitting...

And of course Milly is of a completely different opinion to you on the compatibility...
Glad you enjoyed the weekend....And of course thanks for manning the display  8)

What are mums for though??  ;D ;D ;D ;D

I wondered why every one left.   ;D ;D ;D

I am off to do some grave listing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! back to the real world.

Some one has just sent me 30 piccies of the War Memorial on Abington Sq Northampton.

Much better than the ones I took in 2003.

Hope you have got your voice back.  ;D

Ahhh the Abington Sq memorial....We have one on there...







So were you born before the Boer War or after it it...if not during?


Or am I totally mistaken....?




Was it the Crimean then?

Or Caesars invasion?
