Back from our tour of Belgium and France, 4 intrepid Reflex members with their 4 compardres find themselves exhausted from a full itinerary but keen for more. Moved from some of the locations and stories that accompany them yet awe struck by the scale of the formidable enemy, we find ourselves with mixed emotions. There are so many ways that the war could have panned out but to see how close Germany were to the total annihilation of England with its V weapon projects is very humbling. Along with this the "miracle" of Dunkirk and its evacuation is now understood and it's clear it was certainly a "miracle" in more ways than the evacuation alone.
Ian, Barrie, Keith and myself all thoroughly enjoyed the trip along with the non members that joined us. With days full of touring various locations the evening were packed full of food, drink and a good laugh. We conducted ourselves with the utmost "promptitude" and "clarity" and we even learned a bit about "wenching". Ian scored 8/10 for his colouring at a contemporary restaurant even though the waitress had no idea what we were on about.
I'm afraid there may be things written here that are meaningless unless you were there and you may have no idea what I am on about, but all will be revealed on 9th February when we have our Dunkirk evening.
