John Williams (Panda) - Joint Manchester AO Posted September 8, 2018 Author Share Posted September 8, 2018 mostly yes as the main bits sorted.... I still have a fatter ankle and its sore but ibuprofen sorts is they reckon another week and I should be back to normal. the problem is when it got me... I slept for 36 hours and then took a week of antibiotics and mentally slowed down... its taken a while to get my bounce back cheers Panda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingster Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 I flew over the Somme in my microlight back in 2003 and visited the Normandy area including Arromanches. Very moving. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
