@absoluteradio @bushontheradio Cake only gets worse the longer it isn't eaten. And cake always wants their eaters to be happy and truly enjoy them at their best. Therefore, it is in both the recipient and the cake's interest that you eat it now!

[Ieuan Smith @Ieuan_Smith]

@mansheadacademy More than happy to any time. Just give me a bell. :)

Was an absolute pleasure to go back and do this today. And year 7 had some superb questions! Makes all the research and the hobby worthwhile :)

[Manshead CE Academy @mansheadacademy]

Great to have ex-student @Ieuan_Smith come back after 6 years away to talk to Yr 7. He shared all of his fantastic knowledge & WWI artefacts as a Living Historian. Yr 7 were very engaged and asked excellent questions. Good to see one of them dressed as an Aussie WWI soldier

Thank you to @absoluteradio who I have been listening to every evening this week whilst I create an inventory of my British military uniforms and equipment collection. It's a long and laborious process, but you're making it so much easier and so much more worthwhile!

@georgeodonnell @iKirstyD @NFL It's live now but had to rewind to the beginning just as a big play happened. -_-

[Ieuan Smith @Ieuan_Smith]

@NFL Is there a reason Colts @ Redskins is still not live on GamePass?

[Ieuan Smith @Ieuan_Smith]

@Redskins @ovi8 Really looking forward to watching it!.....if GamePass will get round to putting the stream online!

[Ieuan Smith @Ieuan_Smith]

Day 8. Back to Vancouver today. Lazy day. Went to a shopping mall, endured sister's shopping. Then back to our friends house, enjoying a beer with a beautiful sunset. Tomorrow is our last full day in Vancouver. :( It's over too soon! #ReturnToVancouver

@colin_mayes1 @strangebloke1 @RealTimeWWII I think the thing that always needs to be considered when reviewing this is that, at the time, the German military seemed unstoppable. So I wouldn't be surprised if people at the time genuinely believed the Germans could pull off an invasion of Scapa Flow

[Ieuan Smith @Ieuan_Smith]

Day 7. Explored the BC Parliamentary Building. Then Miniature World and fantastic model displays. Discovery of an English gift shop! Then finishing off the day with some amazing fish and chips and chowder! Back to Vancouver tomorrow. #ReturnToVancouver

[Ieuan Smith @Ieuan_Smith]

Day 6. Explored Victoria. Lovely city, very European in feel. Saw the government building for BC, enjoyed Beacon Hill Park, had my first Ice Float, explored the Royal BC Museum, enjoyed the views from Beacon Hill to the US and even saw a game of cricket! #ReturnToVancouver

[Ieuan Smith @Ieuan_Smith]

Day 5. To Victoria, Vancouver Island, capital of BC. Views from ferry are STUNNING as you weave through islands. Go grocery shopping. Shocked by the prices, high compared to the UK. Go to a local bar. Enjoy local beer, watc baseball and chatted to locals. #ReturnToVancouver

[Ieuan Smith @Ieuan_Smith]

Now off to Victoria and Vancouver Island! Psyched #ReturnToVancouver

[Ieuan Smith @Ieuan_Smith]

Day 4. Visited the hospital I was born in, but couldn't find the tile that was put up when I was born. Then Vancouver to Squamish to admire the BEAUTIFUL BC views. Enjoyed more local beer! Then a little exploration and shopping around downtown Vancouver. #ReturnToVancouver
