After a short break to see friends and family, all to quickly it seems I’m traveling again. While the bike was at sea I went home for a fantastic few weeks. It was so good to see everyone.

It was an interesting read for me especially, as all I ever wanted to do was fly for the air force. Of particular note however was the opening passage:

” This is not precisely how it was, but it’s how I like to remember it ”
