    Hopefully summer is a bit better for you lot then. I've seriously never seen snow, aside from the shit I scrape out of the freezer.

    Memorial to the Tank Corps in Pozieres, Somme near the spot where tanks were used for the first time.



    To the army, to every soldier in it. I have a bond of attachment quite independent of any political reasonings. I was a soldier at that time when the feelings are most ardent and when the strongest attachments are formed. ‘Once a soldier, always a soldier’ is a maxim, the truth of which I need not insist to anyone who has ever served in the army for any length of time.

    Sergeant Major William Cobbett. 54th Regt of Foot.

    This piece of river will be a bit busier tomorrow, when the boatrace starts. And the forecast says the weather won't be this good.

    They are near to Barrow in Furness they protected a bit of a natural landing place between Barrow and Walney Island. Think you would struggle lifting one and putting it in your back garden free to a good home though lol.

    Just back from lunch at The Dove in Hammersmith in scorching sun. Preparations for the Annual Aquatic Contest between the Universities are well under way.

    I was a couple of yards away from HMQ and overheard her say she was 'slightly concerned' to hear about 5A and Hector but was sure everything would work out well.
    It was like that when I got here.

    If you can't take a joke, you shouldn't have joined.
