Bye bye Cloggieland, hello Blighty 😊

Back in the Alps again. Not the Highlands but it’ll do for now 🤗

Coming home from a wonderful eight-day tour, time to chillax and watching Trooping the Colour. You have hand it to the Brits that they do pomp and circumstance like no other - superb!

Hello Zell am See. Beautiful weather in the Alps. ⛰️☀️ #goodtimes

Hello again Alps. Always stunning, never boring!

Yes, I am a history nerd. But what better way than commemorating D-Day from home than with this superb film on one of the most significant events during ww2? Historical inaccuracies etc ignored, of course 😊🎞️

Honoured and humbled as I received news that I finally am an adoptant of a grave at the Netherlands America Cemetery. Please meet Clarence Fahnert, 20 y/o from San Antonio, TX. A waist gunner with 385th Bomb Group, he was killed 3-Mar-1944 near Boxtel, NL on his first mission.

In between tours and chillaxing, watching one of the best films ever made, at least in my opinion.

Hello Alps 🏔️, old friend, glad to be back! 😊

#lfc #ynwa 2025 champions of the @premierleagueoff.bsky.social ⚽️👊

Happy Easter! 🐰🐣

Yesss! Tough game but a win! #LFC #GoReds #YNWA ⚽️👊

Ready for the derby #LFC - Everton. ⚽️ #GoReds #YNWA. And maybe I catch a glimpse of my oldest son, who’s at Anfield with his girlfriend (lucky ones, bit jealous)😁

It’s been yonks but a new dish I wanted to try tonight: noodels with chicken and Japanese stir fry veggies. Selamat makan 😋

Good morning from a beautiful Spring morning on DZ-X, west of Arnhem. Not guiding today but joining a tour with VVAM.

A wonderful day out and about with @jojohook.bsky.social at the Sand Dunes of Loon and Drunen. A beautiful part of The Netherlands.

A glorious start of the day. Good to be back in Oosterbeek today.

Let’s go Reds! #YNWA #liverpoolfc ⚽️👊

In Krakow - this particular spot was used as a scene in Schindler’s List - alongside it some really informative notice boards with descriptions about life in the Jewish Quarter

First stroll around Krakow and the old Jewish quarter. Me and @jojohook.bsky.social having a drink in a nice bar which, interestingly back in the day, used to be a synagoge. The wall paintings still show the building’s former role.

Next stop, Krakow with @jojohook.bsky.social 😊

This is going to be an impressive trip with @jojohook.bsky.social👇

Happy New Year from NL! 🎇🎇

Bye bye Quince Cottage. As always, it was wonderful to spend time here, home in UK. See you again in a few weeks 😊

Merry Christmas and a Happy Newyear from me and @jojohook.bsky.social 🎄🎅🏻

UK, here I come 😊

Home after full-on fab 8-day #80thBattleOfTheBulge Anniversary Tour with @wwiimuseum.bsky.social Working with museum staff, guides @bfxpl.bsky.social & Roland Gau , actors Robin Laing & Shane Taylor + historian John McManus was a true pleasure. What better way to round off than this classic film 😊

Superb thread, worth a read 👇

🎄Tree up, ready for Christmas 2024🎅🏻 😊

🎼 ”Walk on, walk on With hope in your heart And you’ll never walk alone” 🎶 #liverpoolfc #ynwa #goreds ⚽️👊

Happy Thanksgiving to all my friends in the USA! 🦃🍷🎉 Have a great one!

Thread 🧵 Off to The Swan at Lavenham today for a battlefield business meeting. The airman’s bar is wall to wall history. Lavenham airfield home to the 487th Bombardment Group is nearby. The unit's first commander was Lieutenant Colonel Beirne Lay, Jr., a prominent Hollywood screenwriter…

Noooo! Where is global warming when you need it?

Had an appointment with a former collegae and friend for lunch today. He picked the location. To my pleasant surprise the restaurant was at former Dutch bunker complex ‘Fort Vechten’. #Whodoesntlikeabitofconcrete 😊

At the pictures with @jojohook.bsky.social Watching Zone of Interest - a must see for anyone with an interest in the Holocaust …. as well as anyone else.

“Bash on recce!” Recce Day with @jojohook.bsky.social We’ll be out and about doing a recce for several upcoming tours this year. Tours Jo will lead, tours I will lead … and a special tour we’ll do together later this year. Stay tuned.

Here we go! Episode 1 #MastersOfTheAir #MotA 🙌

Friday, 5.30pm. Fire going, book, a nice glass of whiskey, and a Chris Stapleton song on (some of you may know now which type of whiskey I am sipping 🤗). Happy weekend all! Hope you have a great one!

On our way to Blighty! 👇

Saturday afternoon, some easy listening jazz tunes on Sonos, reading a history book 📖 and enjoying a glass of whisky 🥃. A nice and relaxed way to spend the afternoon. 😊

With @jojohook.bsky.social at the pictures. 🎞️🍿

Happy new year to all my friends across the world! 🎉🥂

Watching the, arguably, best Xmas film ever with @jojohook2003. All about a plan during WW2. “The plan, like so many plans in so many wars before it, was meant to end the fighting by Christmas, and bring the boys back home.” 🤗

👇

Merry Christmas 🎅🏻🎄 and a happy new year 🎆🧨 to all my friends around the world. May 2024 become your best one yet. 🎉🥂

Christmas holiday started. Before going off to UK tomorrow, enjoying arguably the best Bond film made to date. 🎞️🍿

Off to the Ardennes. First, a two-day tour around Stavelot which I will join (for a change 🤗). Then, guiding a two-day to with a US family around Bastogne, following their relatives footsteps. Great to be back in the Ardennes!

To all my friends of Jewish faith: Happy Hanukkah! 🕎

Yuk. Can’t wait until it’s Spring or Summer again. 🤗
