I've learned something here, I didn't know Tempests flew over Normandy.

Sorry folks, I had to delete the original post - it was pretty ropey, grammar wise.

D'oh! Please forgive the two 'me's in the post above. You'd never guess I read and re-read it before pressing the send button. 'Tis about time Bluesky had an edit option for the terminally cack-handed.

I enjoyed this book too.

What's this book like, please?

I can't argue with you Kristen but I will say this: If governments continue to deploy & redeploy a comparatively small number of troops from shrunken militaries then the point their judgement is blurred by what they've seen and experienced is brought forward accordingly. We ask too much of too few.

I'm afraid I didn't rate it but then again, that's just my opinion - I'd be interested in what you think about it once you've read it.

Sleep tight.

At last, some backbone.

Yes I am, I'd like that.

Thank you mate. I've got a couple of other ideas to follow on from CC&C, the front runner would focus on Falaise and The Great Swan, but I just don't have the £ and time.

Unlikely I'm afraid, but thank you.

I know the feeling, this one was supposed to be the first of a trilogy but things got in the way. Perhaps one day....

Unsolicited testimonials are always welcome....!

It's true... sorry Mark but it is on my 'to buy list'.

My 'Ready Use' shelf shelfie - there are others, lots of others scattered about the house.

Get going then. How about today?

If Howl's Moving Castle could float it would be more seaworthy than the others.
