I’ve started putting together a slide show of my Navy Days which sent my memory back to1974 when I was in New Zealand. I spent time in Gisbourne and Christchurch and of course all the surrounding places and was absolutely stunned by the beauty of the place. I think what I always found amazing was that I was literally on the other side of the world in a place so similar to the gorgeous greenery of England; I think it was as a young sailor that I first realised how fascinating our world really is. Hopefully my new slide show will give my memoirs a little lift from all of the text.
