Beautiful but cold this morning at Landgoed Bergvliet. Winter greens, but a good, fun round. Then 7-0 for my team - what a great start to the weekend!

Can you help? On Tuesday 14th Jan, my sister (Clare) collapsed outside @AnvilArts Basingstoke at around 1430. We are trying to find the lovely person (Beth?) who helped her - and called the emergency services - can you help? #findbeth

A very enjoyable 1st trip for me to #RAFHendon today with an old university friend. Good war waffle and catch up and some fantastic flying machines... and there was hardly anyone else there!

1st time playing the Senior Club Champs at Landgoed Bergvliet over the weekend. Finished a disappointing 4th, but had 2 very sociable rounds and the course was playing brilliantly for this time of year.

Ahead is 80 year commemoration of Market Garden. A LOT OF OLD HISTORY on TV, news papers and magazines. Pretty frustrating. If you wan't a modern assessment, buy/read my two books. Would be a smart move. 😉 pre-jump.nl (A repost is very much appreciated!)
A Bridge Too Far is a Hollywood view of Market Garden. My two books are based on facts, primary sources.
Why and where did Market Garden fail? Purchase Lost at Nijmegen. All Market Garden facts from primary sources? Purchase Little Sense of Urgency

Beautiful morning on the golf course and played pretty well considering I've not touched the clubs for 4 weeks. Maybe I should not practice more often 🤔 #bergvliet
