... and what was the phrase he used about trying his luck with the girls? Just priceless to see him laugh about that with that twinkle in his eye ... he's 89 going on 18 I think. Good for him. Just brilliant.
Yeah, it's interesting to note that all the Vets appear to be as bright as a button for their age compared to others.
Also makes you wonder whether the scene in the 'First Light' film with Grace and the tree may have been more true to life than the the 'little boarding house' in the book. Or maybe a bit of both.
On a different note, I noticed Pete Brothers was conspicuous by his absence at the service. Hope he's ok.
