Trafalgar day is also the Missus birthday - Sarah Horatia Slominski.
ReplyDelete(We will be hanging out the bunting and firing a 45 gun salute.)
I used to know a Sue Hardy who claimed to be descendant of Victory skipper Captain Hardy and maintained that Nelson's actual dying words were:
"Kismet Hardy,kismet"
... and anticipated a successful Broadway musical comedy.
ReplyDeleteStephen - What better way to celebrate your lady wife's birthday than by bringing her to a fun evening of lively dance and song. A special rendition to Mrs Slominski could be arranged and a great time guaranteed. P.S. Could we borrow the bunting and the gun please?
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely idea Jenny, but the kids have got their own plans for her!
ReplyDeleteMy wife also shares her birthday with our next door neighbour and a close family friend whose middle name is ..wait for it..Nelson!
Anyway, I am sure you will have a great evening.
BTW. Did you guys know that Nelson's French opposite number,Admiral Villeneuve was taken as a POW and billeted at the 'Crown' at Bishops Waltham from where he was given leave to attend Nelson's state funeral?
