My Father came home from basic training in 1942 to tell my mother where he had been posted to. This is the place – out last the Mull of Kintyre. She cried and cried thinking it was near Japan! Here I was in Campbeltown, just a stone’s throw away!
We're off again!
All this time and we thought Machrihanish was in Scotland and it is actually near Southend!

Hi Nick. Loving your blog and hope all’s well. Do let us know what your plans are when you are coming down the right hand side (as they say in the Navy) by Northumberland and Newcastle and I’ll see if I can get along and give you a wave (as if there weren’t enough of those already). Vince

Indeed! I’m sure I could organise some form of reception party.
