A Hand Full Of Hard Men & We Dared To Win Hannes Wessels

 

A Handful Of Hard Men cover
Hannes Wessels
I’ve bundled these two books together as the content is of the same vein and there are portions that are common to both books. 

The author is very passionate about his roll in the S.A.S and Rhodesia as his home and this really carries the reader along there’s nothing worse than a dreary book of someone going through the motions. 

We Dared To Win Cover
Hannes Wessels
You don’t need to be familiar with the demise of Rhodesia and the birth of Zimbabwe as this is all written into the book along side who the author blames for the turn of events rightly or wrongly. Some books omit the more shocking aspects of war but here every thing is laid out for you to judge. 

If you are not familiar with the conflict I’d recommend reading the first A Handful Of Hard Men. It’s got some great stories from the action and gives the perspective of a Rhodesian soldier fighting for his land against the odds.

Sales, shopping and storms

Image
  Last night I listed some of the golf balls on eBay, the Titleist Pro V1’s and the TruFeel’s. Now it’s a crowded market on eBay so I placed them on promotion to be listed top. This morning I had sold both listings not for much but it’s a start.  After a quick visit to Tesco it was down to the local parcel shop to send them off.  It was an afternoon of preparing more golf balls to be listed and then a quick walk up Rowley lane and a big haul of 28 balls. When I inspected them at home three of the more valuable ones had small splits so we’re condemned to the bin.  I’ll keep you posted on more sales, have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ

Afternoon walk

Image
  It was an afternoon walk, I headed up to Rowley path as I feel there might have been a few Christmas golfers. I made it up to the top of the path and back. I found 11 balls today which was good going. The farmer had also been out with the chainsaw making the path safe by cutting some fallen trees. He’d left a can of two stroke petrol/oil mix near the tree so I grabbed it and left it on a fence post near to the farm for them to find in the daylight. It was a nice walk, I’ve finished Phoenix and I’m onto a new book so look out for a bad review.  Have fun stay safe πŸ‘πŸΌ
