Hello Woofers,
Daisy here.
Well, OTL has had a fun day yesterday out with Alun, his Cousi, and just for a change, they didn't get into trouble!
Alun used to be in the army and the pair of them did the 'Royal Visit' to relive Aluns time here and abroad!
OTL went out without a jacket and while he was traveling down to the barracks the heavens opened up and to stop him catching a soaking, he had to purchase a waterproof jacket. As soon as he had purchased the jacket, the rain stopped!
On the way to pick Alun up OTL spent a good hour stuck in traffic on the M25, a real pain in the butt, however, Alun phoned ahead to confirm they were on their way and to confirm no one had pinched their parking spot!
The museum was very interesting and there was one layout of the Battle of Waterloo which his company played a part!
The whole layout took 21,000 models. the total number on the battle field was estimated at 250,000!
It is amazing just how many battles his company were engaged in!
The Royal Green Jackets were the inspiration of the 'Sharpe' novels!
After dropping Alun off at home OTL got stuck on the M26 motorway for over an hour, it really wasn't OTL's day for driving!
Today OTL has finished the pond and we are expecting the plants to turn up in a week or so and the pump is due to arrive in four or five days!
Allowing for August Bank Holiday!
Bye for now.
Luv,
Daisy.
