Greetings from England,
I am here in the UK for a 3-month stay trying to take advantage of nicer time of year and the Summer-like weather here in the Northern Hemisphere.
I have secured an AirB&B residence for my 12-week stay and I'll use that as a base for all my travels, tours and explorations. I'm staying in little village called Redbourn, just 25-miles north of London on the M1 Motorway.
The mood here in the UK is pure electric, everybody is so excited with what they have ahead of themselves for this once in a life time opportunity. I am also getting into the swing of things for this memorable occasion.
A little piece of useless information for you: It is almost 50-years since I first set foot in the ‘Old Dart’ with my girlfriend Pam, we travelled the world together for 3-years in our VW Camper van.
Keep your eyes open for me on Thursday the 2nd July, I will be on the Union Jack lined boulevard, better know as The Mall, adjacent to St James Park, with another 1,000,000 punters, for the Trooping of the Colour, the Birthday Parade and the impressive Royal flyover of 70 aircraft.
Stay tuned for more “Adventure before Dementia”.
Cheers from the “Royal Squire from the Shire”.

I was so relieved to know that Her Majesty was delighted to see me the other day when I arrived here in London, she was concerned that I wouldn’t make it in time for her once in a life time Platinum Jubilee Celebrations due to the fact I would be flying on Stand-by.
To save her any anguish I decided to purchase a one-way full fare ticket on Emirates Airlines not to let her down, so here I am.

Pam and I arrived in downtown London on the 6th July, 1971, the very day that Jazz trumpter Louis 'Satchmo' Armstrong passed away. A hell of a lot of water has passed under the bridge since then & to think that Her Majesty has been on the Throne for another 20-years before that. Where did all those years go?

I will be easily recognisable when you're watching the BBC coverage, I'll wearing my blue Model A Ford hat.
Following the pomp & ceremony of the Platinum Jubilee Celebrations my mate John & I will be flying on EasyJet across the Irish Sea to the Isle of Man for the annual Isle of Man TT Motorcycle races, can’t wait.
Stay tuned for more “Adventure before Dementia”.

Stay safe,
