World Of Warships

My brother-in-law (Mike) recently introduced myself and Alex (son) to the online game 'World of Warships'.  Must confess we are both quite impressed and have been having quite a few games of recent.

Here's a vid off U-Tube showing a game being played.

Here's a screen picture below of one of my current ships, a US Destroyer called the Clemson.

Marston Moor English Civil War Memorial

Took the truck out with the family for a drive earlier this week to the Marston Moor Battlefield, which is only about 5 miles from our house. This was a site of one of the major (if not decisive) battles of the English Civil war in 1644.
There is a memorial which has been erected by the Cromwell Association to commemorate the event.

Managed to prise my son Alex off his X-Box long enough to come along :)

This is the view looking back from the memorial to 'Cromwells clump' where he watched the battle unfold.  The highest spot for miles around this would have given the best view of the battle as it unfolded.
