I hope I can be forgiven for being absent, for the past six mths or more I've been very busy with my Regimental activities etc., and am now under a serious threat here in Northern Ireland, serious enough that I am in the process of having my PPW ( personal protection weapon) returned by the PSNI, Regimental HQ., and Thiepval Security and the PSNI are all involved, so I sincerely hope I am forgiven, hope everyone is in good health and staying safe, as my old Regiment say "FAB", short for "Faugh~A~Ballagh, (Clear the Way), stay well & stay safe, Fair winds & following seas. Robbo.
