Makes me wish I had a blog way back then to keep a better record of these things. :)Kelliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00280319438923392587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047323.post-9345813496428899292006-11-22T17:18:00.000-07:002006-11-22T17:18:00.000-07:00It was an interesting trip with lots of highlights...It was an interesting trip with lots of highlights. They include the infamous photo of your dear brother "flapping in the breeze" from a pole on top of the ferry. The winds were on the ragged edge of extreme. What your dear brother and I cleverly hid when taking the photo was his feet resting on a rail hidden by a post. It really did look like he was hanging on for dear life in a raging gale. Of course it displeased your mother when developed. Then there was getting onto the working part of the RAF base. We enter a gate that is closed behind us and we stop in a gated holding area where one guard checks everyone's ID, another runs a mirror under the car and four others, one at each quarter of the car, armed with automatic weapons that are oh so cleverly not quite aimed directly at the occupants. When all is clear they lower their weapons, all smile and wave (truly sincere I might add since they avoided another IRA bombing). Wales is quite different from England in that they can cook. We ate at one Welsh pub where we all had to duck through an opening cut in a 2 foot thick stone wall to go from the bar into the dining room. Part of the problem with the ferry ride was a failed stability control system that made the roughness of the English channel very evident.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
