Kayak, saunas, ghosts and a bike.

Hi Andy, thanks for your kind messages. How are you? Are you enjoying your Command? Are you due to move on soon and do you know where yet? How are the rest of the guys from PWO course doing and and have you met any of them recently? I hope Elspeth and the kids are doing well.Had a chance to meet your boys a few months ago when Joe Wood took them over the skate park. Real polite young gentlemen. You must be very proud! Wishing you all the best. Clive
