We’re not out of the woods yet!

The ship on which I met Margaret in 1973. We married in 1974! I’m so glad that “Uganda” was not bombed by the Argentine Air Force, but she met her end ignominiously anyway!
I'm running the London Marathon on the 21st April 2024. I'm doing all this to raise vital funds to support The Seafarers’ Charity – helping those who work at sea and their families. Please support me at the following link. run2events.com/s/1510/1712/t
