The decorated RAF officer, his fiancée and Country Life
A heartening story:
"RAF helicopter pilot who read Country Life while recovering from being shot in Afghanistan is celebrating the magazine's decision to feature his fiancée on their Girls in Pearls page after he wrote to the editor"
Link
Bet that will cost a barrel though

Good luck for the wedding tomorrow week - and very best wishes for their future together!

The report says that they are getting married in the church at Hubberholme in the Yorkshire Dales. A beautiful spot if I may say so (even if it is in Upper Wharfedale and not Wensleydale). I trust that the Robert Thompson mice carved into the church woodwork will bring them much luck and happiness for the future!

"Thwaite Arms in Horsehouse was my local. 93 steps in my slippers; considerably more on the way back!"
Last time I visited it was a bit further to get there... from West Burton to walk down Walden then over Fleensop to Horsehouse... up Coverdale to Carlton then back to Walden and West Burton via Howden Lodge. This is well before my knees went of course! (Or perhaps I should describe the route as Fox and Hounds, Thwaite arms, Foresters Arms). A cracking route with curlews and cuckoos enjoying the spring.
I just looked this up in my walking log - it was in Jun 2007! Camping at the excellent Bainbridge Ings site in Hawes....47 miles in 5 days! I wish my arthritis would let me do this now!

Please excuse the ignorance, but is this the same chap who was flying Bravo November, with a TV reporting crew in the back, when they got called into a very serious fire fight for a casevac? It sounded like BN was being puched full of holes.
If so, respec'. Best wishes anyway.

Ian loves it which is the most important thing.
“It was a bit of a shock when I first found out what he had done but I am always up for trying these things.”
