S.A.S Great Escapes Two, Damien Lewis

 

I was ten years old when the first gulf war happened, like most ten year olds the fast jets, tanks and missiles were fascinating and I’d watch the news reports and scan the pictures in the newspapers an learn all I could about them. 

On the back of that conflict there came a new type of book to the fore, “Bravo Two Zero” by Andy McNab and “The One That Got Away” by Chris Ryan launched the S.A.S book as a way to be a best selling author and in the 35 years since that conflict there have been lots of them. Some of the stories are funny and entertaining while others are sad a tell of former soldiers who struggled to cope when their time had past. 

Damien Lewis is the best author to cover British special forces operations and goes to great lengths to research his books and with fantastic writing skills he takes you to the heart of operations and escapes. This is obviously the second book in a successful of books and the first escape is a modern one inspired by the first book and even using it as a tool to escape. For those tales of daring that were carried out by brilliant and brave men who were heroes for their toughness and determination and I wish I had a tenth of their strength.

It’s a series of books that’s worth investing in the stories contained within are brilliantly written, and even if you have heard about them before they’re worth reading again. Remember all of the brave men who fought for our freedoms on both sides and may they be remembered for their service and sacrifice.

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 šŸ‘šŸ¼

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 šŸ‘šŸ¼

Windsor farm shop, local gangster and afternoon walk

  Windsor farm shop It was a lunch time visit to Windsor farm shop to get some treats before the weekly food shop. The car park was extremely busy as there’s a fish monger who’s there on Pop up fish monger   Windsor farm shop Thursdays between 11-2. He must have some good stock for sale at a good price because there was a very long queue st his pop up stall.  Wexham Gangster  What did we get from the far shop, well I picked up a beef and Stilton small pie and an old Windsor pasty for tomorrow after work and we also bought a chicken smd mushroom pie . I have to say the beef and Stilton pie was extremely rich so be warned. The chicken and mushroom pie was very nice and I’d highly recommend.  Passion flower     After lunch had settled it was out for a walk I picked up the WeWard cards I was missing and along the way bumped into Wexham’s new gangster a cute cat who’s taken residence on Mirridor Crescent . It was a walk up Rowley footpath and 21 golf...
