Saturday July 2nd

As Wales achieve unparalleled heights of footballing success, I’m not feeling that the UK is behind our little country.

After all, the Welsh have always been incredibly supportive of English teams in the past, haven’t they?

July 1st 2016

Today is the 100th anniversary of the first day of the Battle of the Somme.

To think that 60,000 allied soldiers died on that day alone ( and 1 million soldiers over the next 141 days ) is just beyond belief.

I heard earlier about a 12 year old lad that tricked his way into the British force and survived in that battle for 6 weeks before his age was discovered and he was sent home.
That’s the same age as my youngest daughter.
What an incredible child he must have been.
