Look Back and Smile – Remembrance

Looking back at last years pictures I was struck by the number of events I had attended or places I visisted that had an element of rememberance. Even though these events and places can be tinged with sadness there is always that element of happiness when you are either with, or remembering old friends.

The pictures above are from;

  • The Ness Fishery Memorial – Port of Ness – Isle of Lewis
  • The unveiling of the Airborne Soldier Statue – Aldershot
  • Crashed World War II Wellington Bomber, Garreg Goch, Brecon Beacons
  • Remembrance Service, St James Church, Bramley, Hampshire
  • Salute from Hill 170 – For my Sea Cadet friends

To finish here is a short video from last years Airborne Soldier unveiling ceremony in Aldershot.

Cheers, George

Look Back and Smile – Sunshine

For todays post I was struck by the lovely sunshine we were experiencing here in the south of the UK. So after delving into a few of lasts years pics I chose those that made me smile.

I am not someone who copes well with heat however I do appreciate the sun, especially on these cold and windy days I usually get when out and about. Today I had to appreciate the sun in the garden as I am tasked with taking the dog for a walk tonight (only allowed to go out for excercise once a day here) so here are a few memories of better times in the sun.

Remembering a happier time in France on the cliffs and trees in the sunshine.

Stay safe folks – now to find some more memories.

Look Back and Smile – 23/03/2020

Having not posted for a while and not being able to travel due to the Corona pandemic I have been looking back at some my older pictures and videos to bring a smile to my face and it worked – plan is to make this a regular thing until we get the go-ahead to get out and about again.

So here goes – It was a great trip on Dartmoor with the Sea Cadets/DofE last year where we had a little fun along the way (Dave you have to put up a lot with me I know). Alison and Catherine had no idea they were being watched while I photographed them at The Vyne (National Trust).

I spent a bit of time stalking (with a camera) a herd of Deer in the snow (very crunchy snow) and I had a laugh watching the mother Bison scratching her cheek on her calf’s bottom.

Finally looking at my Youtube channel this short video from the Bushmoot always brings a smile to my face – great people in a great location – here is to hoping we can meet up this year.

Cheers, George
