Bye bye Cloggieland, hello Blighty π
Back in the Alps again. Not the Highlands but itβll do for now π€
Coming home from a wonderful eight-day tour, time to chillax and watching Trooping the Colour. You have hand it to the Brits that they do pomp and circumstance like no other - superb!
Hello Zell am See. Beautiful weather in the Alps. β°οΈβοΈ #goodtimes
Hello again Alps. Always stunning, never boring!
Yes, I am a history nerd. But what better way than commemorating D-Day from home than with this superb film on one of the most significant events during ww2? Historical inaccuracies etc ignored, of course πποΈ
Just found out it was his fourth, not first mission.
It really is.
Honoured and humbled as I received news that I finally am an adoptant of a grave at the Netherlands America Cemetery. Please meet Clarence Fahnert, 20 y/o from San Antonio, TX. A waist gunner with 385th Bomb Group, he was killed 3-Mar-1944 near Boxtel, NL on his first mission.
In between tours and chillaxing, watching one of the best films ever made, at least in my opinion.
Hello Alps ποΈ, old friend, glad to be back! π

Ready for the derby #LFC - Everton. β½οΈ #GoReds #YNWA. And maybe I catch a glimpse of my oldest son, whoβs at Anfield with his girlfriend (lucky ones, bit jealous)π
Itβs been yonks but a new dish I wanted to try tonight: noodels with chicken and Japanese stir fry veggies. Selamat makan π
Good morning from a beautiful Spring morning on DZ-X, west of Arnhem. Not guiding today but joining a tour with VVAM.
A wonderful day out and about with @jojohook.bsky.social at the Sand Dunes of Loon and Drunen. A beautiful part of The Netherlands.
A glorious start of the day. Good to be back in Oosterbeek today.
Letβs go Reds! #YNWA #liverpoolfc β½οΈπ
In Krakow - this particular spot was used as a scene in Schindlerβs List - alongside it some really informative notice boards with descriptions about life in the Jewish Quarter
First stroll around Krakow and the old Jewish quarter. Me and @jojohook.bsky.social having a drink in a nice bar which, interestingly back in the day, used to be a synagoge. The wall paintings still show the buildingβs former role.
Next stop, Krakow with @jojohook.bsky.social π
This is going to be an impressive trip with @jojohook.bsky.socialπ
Happy New Year from NL! ππ
Bye bye Quince Cottage. As always, it was wonderful to spend time here, home in UK. See you again in a few weeks π
Merry Christmas and a Happy Newyear from me and @jojohook.bsky.social ππ π»
UK, here I come π
Home after full-on fab 8-day #80thBattleOfTheBulge Anniversary Tour with @wwiimuseum.bsky.social Working with museum staff, guides @bfxpl.bsky.social & Roland Gau , actors Robin Laing & Shane Taylor + historian John McManus was a true pleasure. What better way to round off than this classic film π
Superb thread, worth a read π
