A photo from 1983 of 'my first flight in a glider'. We did a loop-the-loop & stall recovery from a steep climbing turn. I was in the left-hand seat. The Chilterns can be seen in the distance, and I have flown over them many times since. We were winched into the air. This is a Slingsby T21.

The Convent of the Holy Apostles in Barsana, is the largest and most impressive in northwest Romania, stands on a plateau looking down on the Iza River. It was rebuilt starting in 1993 on the site of an old monastery abandoned during the 1790s and is now home to an Orthodox community of nuns.

Last year, I met a lawyer in a hotel bar in New York. We were watching baseball on TV. My book, 'Divine Highways' came up in conversation so he decided to get it...and later sent me this review:

Basra in 2011 - helmet too small, flak jacket too small. Back from visit to Rumaila Oilfield. Pink shirt chosen as best colour for concealment in the desert - just like the SAS in WW2!😉

The kids had travelled 30 hours by train to Solotvyno and then crossed the border into northern Romania, where they were welcomed by a team of teachers and volunteers. Two weeks away from the bombs, shells and missiles gave them time to relax and play outside without fear of being killed.

As part of a broader initiative, I ran an art therapy session for Ukrainian children who live under the threat of drones, bombs, missiles and artillery shells. The kids drew life before the war and now. The charity behind this work requires funding to expand the project to other children in need.
