Apologies for the slowing of posts recently, but over the last few weeks (and months, actually), my father, Peter, was very ill, and sadly he died this week.
He was a good, good human, and I'm very grateful for his wisdom, appreciative of his pedantry, and proud of his service as a Chief Petty Officer, Artificer, RN.

Normal service will resume shortly...whatever that means.
TTFN,

DeleteChris, sorry for your loss. Your father is now sailing the seven seas with a fair wind and following sea, spinning dits with Nelson and having the best run ashore with subbies! God Bless 'im Shipmate.
