    Did you realise?

    This year is the hundreth year since WW1 ended, and the fallen will be remembered at exactly 1100hrs on Sunday the 11th of November 2018.
    We are commemorating the seven fallen from our village by placing large poppies on lamposts in either direction with the faces and date they fell as part of our very special remembrance, plus a write up in the local church on each soldier.
    I am not a church man..........I believe in something, not sure what, but by Christ I have prayed in the past when the chips were down, which I am sure all of have done to.
    Anyway, just thought I would feed that date and time info in, as it is truly unique
    RIP to all those who gave me the opportunity to be able to sit here and type this email!!!
