Matt

Great stuff!!!  When we consider what our forebears went through, what have we got to moan about?

Kind regards

Just wanted to drop in a line to say thanks for all your comments. I am pleasantly surprised at the feedback I've been getting over the last few days.

Pleased to say too that tonight I will post TWO chapters, because tomorrow I am travelling back to university, so won't have time to post.

Hope you all keep reading! Whether a good or a bad thing, this story is barely half way into its telling!

Matt :)
