May everyone have a good summer & hope the young people taking exams will get the grades they need for their future education/jobs.
At the time of writing, we have been remembering the events of D Day & the bravery & courage of those who were a part of it. We are so grateful for the sacrifice of the many who lost their lives. It has been quite moving to hear the veteran's stories & all they went through & the detailed planning that went into that operation to bring us freedom.
