I am R J Nicol 73-year-old ex-soldier, I live in the picturesque town of Buxton, located in the High Peak of the UK. My home is nestled amidst the rolling hills and lush greenery of the Peak District, a tranquil contrast to My adventurous past. After serving My country for many years, I now enjoy the serene life that Buxton offers, often taking evening strolls through the town's historic parks and gardens.

Reflecting on My storied past, I often find myself recounting tales of his time in uniform, from the rigorous training regiments to the lifelong friendships forged on and off the battlefield. Despite the years that have passed, my posture remains as upright as ever, a testament to my disciplined military life. Yet, there's a softness in my eyes that reveals a deep appreciation for the simple pleasures I now cherishes.
