The World of Siân

On the 10th October a group of remarkable people (the First Allied Airborne Association and the Screaming Eagles Living History Group) and I participated in what turned out to be a nearly 13 mile march in aid of Help for Heroes. The money raised by those doing the march will be going towards helping those who have put themselves in the front line abroad and at home. Those who have volunteered for this did the 13 miles in full kit. We were dressed in WWII U.S. Airborne and other uniforms and marching the 13 mile route that the 506 Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne would have taken. The march started at Littlecote House and finished back at Littlecote House via the town of Aldbourne. This was a mean feat and by the end of it I was fit for nothing. Unlike our troops of today and the past when they would have been expected to then fight or tend to the wounded. I have the utmost respect for them. So I have a sense of achievement that I completed this march and didn’t die, ...

I have had inspiration from a couple of different blogs and have decided next year I shall start a 365 days of t-shirts. I am an avid T-shirt wearer and this constitutes most of my wardrobe, so much so I must have 365 days worth and could wear one for each different day of the year. This could also be my new year’s resolution. It’s going to be hard to do a blog a day but simple in the fact it could just be a photo. Also I am almost certain to buy new t-shirts next year and within the coming months. Anybody happy to donate an individual different t-shirt to the cause too is more than welcome. It is mad to think of next year already but my diary is already filling up with different events and celebrations. Also next year see’s the year of the 30th birthdays, where most of my friends including myself will be turning 30, eeep!!!!
