There’ll be little chat today… but I need to share something great, very soon! In the meantime, we called into Dublin on Saturday… cold but bright, so… we went to one of our favourite stops – the Great South Wall – with the Poolbeg Lighthouse at its eastern tip. We didn’t walk the whole way… too cold! Anyway, I managed to get my first photos of the new Irish Ferries ship… the WB Yeats… outbound past the lighthouse!
OK – I’m not going to let you off too easily today – I’m setting you one question for homework – and I would appreciate answers, please? So… here goes,
… what do you understand by the term veteran?
Please share your thoughts… there is a very good reason why I’m asking… as I said the other day, watch this space!
Happy Monday – here’s to the first full workweek of the second month of 2019… enjoy!
Ouch!! My back hurts!! 
People who have served in the armed serves.
People with much experience.

Veteran, something or someone who has had lots of experience of life ( and of course war veterans who had to experience the horror of war).

Veteran – someone who has served in the military. That’s what usually comes to my mind first if I hear the word. 😊

In my mind the word always has a military connotation: Afrikaans “oudstryder/oudgediende”. However, it also has the nuance of “experienced/expert”. Jy het my nou nuuskierig!

Well….For some reason 50 years comes to mind! Maybe that is Vintage though. The other one is Masters where some vintage veterans get to play their favourite sport. 🙂 Of course it is also used in the armed forces…
