Jan's Blog
Computers and the internet are amazing things. One of my concerns with putting together this site was that it could remain current, yet with all my travelling I've often much to say, but little time to say it. Years ago when reading the news it would take me days on end to reply to the kind letters people sent. Now, with the magic of the modern age, I can keep you up to date with what I'm doing and other events in my life.
CHEETAHS AT SANBONA GAME RESERVE
Date: 30th June 2009

Undertaking my constitutional has become much more enjoyable now that I've discovered my Ipod. I used to think it would be stupid a woman of my age walking along with two little things in my ears. However, I really don't care what I look like, my walks now are so much more enjoyable. BUT - the... Read more...
BOMBER COMMAND MEMORIAL FUND BANQUET
Date: 7th June 2009
John and Amanda Romain (Aircraft Restoration Company - of which John is the MD and Chief Pilot) have invited my son and me to a Banquet at the Royal Air Force Museum, London, in aid of the Bomber Command Memorial Fund. John invited me to this function a couple of years ago and very enjoyable it is too - not only... Read more...
