My Dad was a Commando with the Royal Marines for 15 years, and despite leaving many years ago, he never truly left... The Marines are famed for having the toughest training programme in the world and for their love of yomping (half running for 20+ miles carrying 80kgs of equipment) then getting down to action.
This Commando guards the entrance to Eastney Barracks in Portsmouth where my Dad once served.
Talking of Portsmouth... after last weeks high, it was back to reality today, letting in a last minute goal to lose 2-1....
Visited parents and Mum still unwell, had a go at Dad & told him to take her to doctors next week... hopefully he can still follow orders!!
as a squadie son as well i like this (all though he wasn't a commando!) hope ya mum get better. love the yellowish sky with the hardness of the sculpture

Rich/Kathryn - looks much more yellow on this site than it in fact is, but agree, it seems to work ok... thanks
I hope your mum is well soon.
