On the afternoon of Friday 21st February I was bathed in the glorious sunshine that was streaming through the window next to me. I’d planned to do some Cadet stuff on the PC but at 14:00 I started getting a really bad headache. Not long after that I started to feel sick then I started […]

10th November Sunday 10th November was my 2nd Ampuversary, apart from a small post I put on Facebook it slipped by mainly unnoticed.

I think I should give you a little background information at this point. When I re-joined the Cadets in 2005 the PRO (Public Relations Officer) was excellent. His output was amazing and […]

Only the other day I was thinking to myself how well I had done in not having a fall for ages now. Patting myself on the back thinking I hadn’t done anything stupid and been balancing a tads better. It now appears that was probably the worst thought I could have had, talk about jinx […]
