[Retlaw]

First time I left Lancashire, also first holiday I ever had, was to Ostend, with a coach load of WW1 veterans from Accrington, in 1987. Visited all the battle fields, and cemetery's around Wipers, saw the last post ceremony at the Menin Gate, and to see my uncles grave, at Birr Cross Roads cemetery. Never had any incling to just go on a holiday to some resort, too boring, I prefer to be at home, either making something, or doing something usefull.
Retlaw.
