A walk with a histoy lesson!

Today was a strange!! Walking to college today and this random old man started talking to me (I think he lives somewhere by us so not completely random!!) he was wearing a Las Vegas hat and said I really need to go there!! Then he told me all the places he had been, how he liked America ant the worst place he had been to was the Falklands. Then he said how he liked going for his morning walk to get the paper and that later he is going horse riding like he does every Wednesday. He loves it because it reminds him of being in the army (I don’t know why I thought they stopped using horses in the army a long time ago!!) then he went on about his time in the SAS and how it got to travel places and drive helicopters. Then when he left how he became a traffic police officer and how he loved that. Then that he went back to the SAS to do transport stuff because they look after their own (or so he said). Then he told me he was retired (I had kind of guessed that already!!). Then he wished me a good day and crossed the road to go get his paper!! Most of the time I just smiled and nodded and saying cool every now and then!! (just read back over that and decided I need do get another word other then then!!)
