 Well it only rained a bit (kept the dust down) and I think we had a good time.
The shopping was good as usual and it was great to see the new members ( Jacko your a teacher ?)
I had a great time and drank all my booze 
I did not spend to much this year so I will see BJ at avoncroft to make up for it 
Meeting the vets was great German / british and usa.
The best bit though was Liam and the Y straps
Bye Barry and Liam

I had a great week even if i was on my own for a couple of days, big thanks to Lou and Dave of Das Riech for feeding and drinking me. Nice to see Mick and Chris in the week for a couple of days the radios worked well (when turned on ) When John put his MG in the trench with the laffette it looked great. We had some new guys turn up look forward to seeing them at detling.Handshar day was good again but i didn't get any photos  .I do have a confession to make I WENT DOWN THE YANK SECTION IN SOF   . I hope with help i can get over it, Yours very confused Andy

As I posted in the 'new members' section, It was great to meet the unit at the War+Peace show -it was good to be the 'other side'of the barrier and be part of the show. I enjoyed the atomsphere within the group and over the weekend I managed to get to chat to all the individual members one to one...and thanks to all for the friendly welcome I recieved. Also great to meet Dave (ropes) and Chris. I noticed the prime position the group was given in the living history area and can understand why the group is worthy of such a position.
As for the show itself, impressive living history/re-enactment displays/battles as always and the coffee deal at Red Ball is a cracking idea. The trade part of the show perhaps wasnt quite so good this year,but maybe the strong euro and the sheer size/popularity of the show does't help. Pleased to have picked up a decent splinter parka and I am impressed with my 'real' dog tags- as done by Hans (what an interesting character) and my jäger-abschied 'hunters farewell' beer stein!-Prost!
Finally thanks to Barry and Liam to firstly introducing me to the group and sharing their W&P Sunday 'deli' lunch with me while being photographed like a chimps tea party-il get some German/Austrian munchies and return the hospitality at Detling. |
