Me looking brave before taking to the air (and the wing) of the plane. Wow, it was cold !! But the whole experience was totally exhilarating.

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.
RENE MOUCHOTTE
Date: 27th August 2010
RENE MOUCHOTTE Today is the Anniversary of Rene's death and I made a visit to Capel-le-Ferne to pay my respects to the Few, to Rene, and the other Frenchmen who fought for us in World War 11. There were only a few French but I felt they could have chosen the easy option. Their country had been overrun and... Read more...
AFRICAN SANCTUS-CANTEBURY CATHEDRAL-CELESTINE PROPHECY
Date: 25th August 2010
AFRICAN SANCTUS - CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL - CELESTINE PROPHECY What an odd heading you are probably thinking. So I shall start at the end with the Celestine Prophecy, a book I was given in 1996 and read avidly. I wasn't fully aware that it was a novel - it had elements of Dan Brown and the darker elements of... Read more...
NORWEGIAN LAPLAND
Date: 18th August 2010
Hallo All, Haven't done anything exciting or worth talking about so I thought I might share with you an article I wrote a few years ago about a fantastic few days in Norwegian Lapland, husky sledding, snow-mobiling and spending a night in an Ice Hotel. After I came out of 'I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here' I had... Read more...
SHOOTING STARS
Date: 13th August 2010
SHOOTING STARS The number 13 is supposed to be my lucky number! Well it proved to be so in the wee small hours of Friday 13th August. I'd read about the Meteor shower which was going to be in evidence in the small hours of the morning. Each time in the past that I've wanted to see 'Shooting Stars' or a... Read more...
RED ARROWS
Date: 12th August 2010
RED ARROWS I was in Sandwich on Thursday when I heard a familiar and lovely sound overhead - on looking up I saw the Red Arrows flying in formation (only eight of them instead of nine so maybe one had gone ahead). In 1982 - whilst I was a Newsreader for the BBC - I was on duty one Sunday night in the Autumn. ... Read more...
UN PETIT CADEAU - a little present from me
Date: 10th August 2010
Hallo There everyone As a little present from me and to make it easier to access all my Back Blogs - and because my son (now swanning around in Los Angeles) also complained that he didn't want to have to go to a date and have a look-see at what was there - I've asked Stuart to add an ALL POSTS to my...

MES CARNETS - Rene Mouchotte The Mouchotte Diaries 1940/43
Date: 3rd August 2010
MES CARNETS - RENE MOUCHOTTE The Mouchotte Diaries 1940 - 43 The Daily Mail still haven't printed my story so here goes. The one element for which I have to thank Andrew Morrod (Features Editor) is that the commission concentrated my mind on writing the piece. It was difficult to... Read more...
FEEDBACK PLEASE
Date: 1st August 2010
FEEDBACK Hallo All. Well I ask for feedback and I got a very good suggestion from Phil who has written to me before. This is the substance of what he suggested. I have an idea for your blog. What if you were to get your Stuart to set up a contents or index page? Why? Because your blogs... Read more...
