June, have you made a decision?

LancYorkYankee · 05-03-2007, 18:03

Len, what a great recovery from the archives! It is so nice when Accywebbers remember threads that are important to those members.

So come on June, don't leave us "hanging by a thread

!" Have you been able to come to a decision on this trip?

She's unavailable to comment, as yesterday she set off on a small raft in a north-easterly direction, and should be here by...June.

North easterly from where Mate? Wouldn't that have her running toward Norway? Or do you mean from the Maldives? I mean the Falklands!

Tenerife, though if the wind changes she might hit landfall in the Western Sahara first.

Here's a map. You can see her position marked eight miles north east of the island of Tenerife.

I did make my decision but having thought that so much time had gone past on the thread, I didn't bother to retrieve it.

There are two or three reasons why I've decided not to go. I made the journey in 1983 and met up with the Falkland Islanders who helped to make my husband comfortable during his last few minutes. Lovely people who I will remember forever.

He was buried at sea, shortly after his death and so there is no place for me to feel close to him. Apart from in my heart.

I've talked to my family and we feel that it's more of a military thing this year. The lads who served there need to be together. Happen I may be wrong but I've made my choice.

Have a look at

My husband was the pilot. Thanks for your loving thoughts xx

another example of the US education system .....the Maldives are in the Indian Ocean , the Falklands(Malvinas) are in the South Atlantic

June I'm so sorry, I didn't read the thread properly. I just presumed it was the thread about planning to see your family near Exeter.

Forgive my crass joke, and thank you for the link, its very moving.

I apologize for the mistake made. Although blaming the US educational system I find quite irrational. I would rather put the blame on the bloated Teacher's unions that reward poor educators by giving teniour regardless of compotence. (then again, could be I was while the teacher was teaching on such an incredibly interesting geographical lecture.!)
