Hi Michael, I have just finished reading 'Our Lad Ricky' which I bought from you when you were at Newport Library rececently. This book took me right back to my initial training during my time in the RAF, 8 weeks in 1952, it was word for word exactly as I remember it and I have enjoyed recounting my memories, many thanks for that!

I really wanted to congratulae Michael on the book.
Our Lad Ricky was one of those books you just cant put down. I usually read the first few pages of a book to see if I like it and then read the rest later, however with this book I found myself just reading on, much to the annoyance of my husband who kept saying "turn the light off". I thought it was well written and very funny - the laugh out loud type. I especially liked the story when 'Ricky' needed an injection and the needle just went straight through - skinny fella that he was (evidently) and the stories referring to the antics with his siblings. It also reminded me of my childhood when we put bread bags in our shoes to stop our feet getting wet in the winter and how i would sleep under the duvet (what i refer to now as doing an eski') because our house was soooo cold - life before central heating and double glazing hey.
Many Thanks and cant wait for the next book.

I enjoyed your book. It brought back many happy memories of my days in the Army in the 50s & 60s

Well - it looks like you have a best seller on your hands. I have read your book along with several of The Royal Oak regulars, who have all commented on how thoroughly enjoyable the book is. I myself certainly agree and can't wait for the next installment.
Well done Mick.

What can I say! Absolutely Brilliant!! Have laughed my socks off. Cant wait for Ricky the Early Years to be published. In my opinion there both set to be bestsellers!!!

Theresa Beard, Rugeley, Staffordshire

Haven’t had chance to read it yet myself, but it kept Linda quiet for two whole evenings (apart from the regular laughter outburst). So your book has to be really good. Well done and congratulations on getting it published. Can’t wait for my turn to read it!!
