I am so glad it all went well. When Jacqui said that Kendall wanted to spend his birthday on board Victory and she thought she might sing , quietly[!!??!!] Carrying Nelson Home, twas then that the whole idea came to mind. I had long telephone calls and emails with Lt Cmmdr Whilde, [CO HMS Victory] and eventually managed to persaude him that both Kendall and Mike O'Connor were Very Respectable Persons [says so in their security check]. Then the conspiracy began with calls and e mails flying around and across the pond to get it all sorted. Thanks to Mike and to Hils for being co conspirators and thanks to HMS Victory and The Admiralty for pulling out all the stops. Sadly, after all the organising and conspiratorising I didn't get to go cos I still had my stitches in after my op and couldn't walk up the stairs let alone a gangplank! Happy Birthday, Kendall, You deserved it. xx
