The Fault In Our Stars
Today I went out to see a film on the spur of the moment. I didn’t even know that I was going to go out and I certainly didn’t know that I was going to see this particular film. I was minded to go and see the film ‘Chef’ but then I saw that ‘A… Continue reading The Fault In Our Stars
The Importance of Soft Power
In my near 2 years of blogging, I haven’t seen any posts on the concept of Soft Power.

I thought people might be a little interested in some of the photos which I took. One of the most interesting places we visited was the Azzaville battery. It… Continue reading My tour around the D-Day beaches

The Spirit of D-Day Lives On!
A small story which I thought some people like to read involves D-Day veteran Bernard Jordan aged 89. He was reported missing from his Pines Care home in Hove. Bernard apparently was told by his care home that he wasn’t able to attend the events in Normandy these last few days whether due to the… Continue reading The Spirit of D-Day Lives On!
