  • HOW DID WE GET INVOLVED WITH CANADA'S "NORTH WEST PASSAGE" a story from 1986.
    2023/01/08

    It came about in 1986 and we were living close to Spilsby in Lincolnshire.

    Sir John Franklin, Spilsby’s most famous “son” was born there in 1786 and subsequently lost his life together with the rest of his crew and two ships, undertaking the expedition to find the “North West Passage” in 1848.

    This was the most sought after route “around the top of the World” which it was hoped, could allow vessels to reach the Pacific Ocean without having to risk that long, dangerous voyage around South America and “Cape Horn”.

    The actual history of these explorations are covered in many publications. Indeed the Internet’s Wikipedia has most comprehensive information.

    Back in Spilsby in 1986, the Mayor and Councillors were asked by the High Commission for Canada to commemorate the two hundredth anniversary of Franklin’s birth and indeed the High Commissioner Himself wished to attend.

  • A VERY UNUSUAL OPTHALMOLOGIST. Its a Rum Life In France, 2021.
    2023/01/08

    Back to that interview with my lady surgeon who happened to say, “well the only little problem you might have with the new lenses is that your extreme peripheral vision might be affected when driving in the dark.”

    “Oh that’s ok then, I replied. “I do not normally drive after dark and anyway the last time was for my last check up with Dr,…. my Opthalmologist last week when I got home at 1.30am in the morning.”

    “I.30am,” she exploded. “ Did I hear correctly, are you sure.”

    “Oh yes,” I continued. “ My appointment was for 10.30 pm oh and it was Saturday evening.

    When I arrived, there were 5 folk in front of me, which is normal. Then as you know that final examination before the operations is quite lengthy. I had to wait a bit before driving because of the drops in my eyes. I suppose it could have been nearer to 2am when I arrived home.”

    My surgeon was most surprised to say the least and completely dumbfounded.

    In fact she nearly fell off her stool!

  • "IF YOU TOUCH A HORSE, A DOG OR EVEN A CAT IN THE NEXT THREE MONTHS, DO NOT COME BACK HERE!"
    2023/01/08

    A story from the Northcote Heavy Horse Centre in about 2005.
    On a wet and windy night one of the horses managed to dislocate my right shoulder.

    Unfortunately, it was the same shoulder that I had broken when falling over "that" dog only a month previously.
    The story goes on as I travelled to my out patients appointment on my motor bike with the sling loose around my neck!

  • WARP SPEED AT HARROGATE BUS STATION Harrogate, Yorkshire 1950
    2023/01/02

    This is a story about a Bus Journey, well several bus journeys really.
    A story of "Financial aspirations" of a 6 year old in 1950.

    The scene is Harrogate, Yorkshire, in the North of England. A very smart and affluent town with more Rolls Royce cars to the mile than any other town in England!

    All for the sake of a half penny!
