@ColleenQ325 @almurray @James1940 @WeHaveWaysPod @GoalhangerPods Congratulations both ❤️ xx

So here we are! From October 2020 to today... my now husband Seán O'Keeffe & I together as husband & wife! Thank you @almurray @James1940 @WeHaveWaysPod @GoalhangerPods and the IC! Luv you all so much! What an AMAZING community of friends who have supported us on this journey!

@mikecosgrove45 He was a Sergeant in the army, but prior to that he trained as a pilot (with bomber command) and got his wings. Had an accident and transferred back to the army, but he still wore his wings. His journey was an interesting one!

@RachelWaite2 A sargent pilot?

Then and now…my grandfather in St Marks Square, Venice at the end of 1945 and me today 🥰 it’s been so amazing to walk the streets of the place he ended the war

@militaryhistori Thank you Peter, I am indeed ☺️

@RachelWaite2 Great pair of images. You must be really proud!

@soave1000 Had a wander over, but it was closed. Quite a bit is sadly due to the time of year. Still had an amazing time

@RachelWaite2 Did you go to Harry’s Bar?

@DanKaszeta Oh no please don’t apologise, slightly mortified by my faux pas. It was a tremendous book though either way

My book club secret Santa played an absolute blinder this year. An incredibly horrendous story of what the 2WW meant for people in the Balkan states, told so beautifully 😢

@Taff_Gillingham Ah amazing thanks Taff! Never come across it before, he was a DUKW driver

@RachelWaite2 Fantastic, Rachel! Brits attached to the US 5th Army all wore the 5th Army patch on their left sleeve, like this one in the Taff Collection.

Amazing find in the attic this evening in search of some old photos of my grandad

@militaryhistori I can’t believe it’s been hiding in the attic all this time in a pile of old photos 🤦🏻‍♀️ some cracking photos of Venice as well

@RachelWaite2 Never seen one before!

@Marcosplace Can’t believe I’ve never come across it before!

@daryl_lynch @soave1000 @WHW_NorthernIC @LydiaJane13 @Marcosplace @RedFiveModels @HistoryPegg Big light and heating will remain off 😂

@RachelWaite2 @soave1000 @WHW_NorthernIC @LydiaJane13 @Marcosplace @RedFiveModels @HistoryPegg You will have to put the big light on to find it

I hope @WHW_NorthernIC @LydiaJane13 @Marcosplace @RedFiveModels @RachelWaite2 @HistoryPegg & all the Durhams are prepared the forecast snow

@SeanOKeeffe11 @ColleenQ325 I’m so unbelievably happy for you both, this is the best news 🥰 xx

@FlyRoy2 I was so confused 😂😂😂

Was so confused by the Stalin cups at the Vatican 🫠😂

Fabulous last minute dash to see @almurray and @James1940 chat about Al’s new book. Can’t wait to get stuck into this on the journey back north

@LydiaJane13 Happy birthday Pippin ❤️

Happy 3rd birthday to Pippin, Pip, Pippy Pie, Pipster, Pipmeister, Renegade Floofster, Pippity Pop... Celebrated with a 5 mile walk to the beach and through the fields.

@RogP74 @WeHaveWaysPod Was lovely to see you, hope the girls enjoyed their weekend too
