Its been a long time, too long some might say, but at long last I will post something on my blog. What have I been up to since the last entry I hear you ask…
I passed my FT 2, which was at RAF Boulmer, after much effort. It was quite demanding but worth the effort as this was a precursor to my recent promotion. The day I finished my FT I travelled down to High Wycombe and unpacked then repacked and, with my darling wife in tow, started the long drive to Hungary. We travelled via the EuroTunnel and eventually arriving in Szolnok over 24 hours later. Yes it was a very tiring drive. In Hungary we celebrated my wife’s Grandmothers 80th birthday, which was also my birthday too! A couple of days later we travelled to Visegrad, and also onto Esztergom. Photos are available for viewing in the Family area of this site.
After a week in Hungary, Évi and I travelled to France. We took the decision to stay overnight in Austria en-route, and this proved to be a blessing as we arrived in the Jura region quite fresh. We stayed in a Bed and Breakfast owned by an English couple Nick and Cheryl Beare, who happened to be from the High Wycombe area. Jura is known as France’s lake district and there was plenty for my wife and I to do. For an account of our stay, again see the family area.
When I got back to the UK, and back to work, I found out that I had been promoted a fortnight ago and should be at another RAF station. Somehow my paperwork had got lost
, thank god that my new unit is only 11 miles down the road!
I have now settled in at my new post, although I am learning all the time.
