Highland Jeannie and Palaisglide (as in ballroom dancing?), my birth mother was an RAF Nursing Sister in Palestine and Aden and apparently after a while because it was so hot had to have leave every now and then. Am I right about this?

The women once we all moved out of that area on the mandate would be sent to Camps along the Canal and probably BMH Fayid a massive military hospital. Most of those camps Ismalia Shandur Suez had Lido's for recreation, gardens, sheltered area's and swimming. The women would get leave up in Port Said a camp run by the WVS and the photo of me doing the Palaisglide with three of those lovely ladies hence the pen name. Us men got one leave in the whole period. 118 degrees in the shade if you could find any and freezing the hairs off your chest at night, "err" well not the women I do not think, could be wrong.
We could talk about this on the message page I am in touch with others on there, up to you.

Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
The Fens, a little snow last night, followed by a chilly day, but not unbearable. Am v. proud that I bled the rads today without having to call a plumber
We actually had a little bit of sun this afternoon, I pruned a climbing rose - have I said that already or was that Fork Handles? Were watching lovely penguins on TV, picture broke up, snow on satellite dish. Not forecast, all is white again.
