Although restricted by his leg problems Jack Ings has nevertheless been busy.  As a great example for all of us in retirement, he has systematically reflected on and written of  some wonderful memories of experiences in different countries which he has visited over the years--amazing 146 countries.  Here is an extract :-

" Another story I must tell was when we went looking for a Bronze Age wedge tomb colloquially called the Hag’s Nest. It probably dated from 1,700BC. Again, we weren’t quite sure of our bearing and we were driving along a country road when I saw a young woman ahead of us walking along hand-in-hand with a young lad. I pulled up alongside her and she said, “Top of the mornin, sorr’. So I replied and asked if she knew where we would find the Hag’s Nest. “Sorr,” she said, ‘It’s joost down the road apiece, I know it. It’s been there quoit a woil.”

Sure enough, it was just down the road apiece and had been there for about 3,000 years or more"
