Life’s a beach
… complete with dodgy internet.
So apologies if I’m slow to respond to comments. Normal service will be resumed when I fix my technology issues.

Wordless Wednesday
Lest we forget: ANZAC Day 2018
The Big T’s great uncles:
— Pte Eric Andrew Gray, died in the Somme Valley, France, March 1918
— Lt Harry Marshall Wright, died at Chunuk Bair, Gallipoli, August 1915.
Commemorated alongside other servicemen and women from the Canterbury region at the Field of Remembrance, Cranmer Square, Christchurch.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them.— Laurence Binyon, “For the Fallen”
