On VE Day I think about Doreen Yarwood who, as a 7-year-old, was pulled with her mother from the wreckage of a school basement shelter in which 166 were killed. A German parachute mine collapsed the shelter in Durning Road, Liverpool, on the night of 29 November 1940. 1/4

Late to the party (as usual), but I finished watching #AlmasNotNormal last night. This series has made me belly laugh and sob. I loved it so much. Fabulous! 💗 @bbciplayer

This weekend I've spent alot of time re-reading this wonderful book by @cscottbooks.bsky.social . I've read all her books but this is my favourite. It makes you really think about the psychological issues that soldiers and their families had to cope with post 1918. Beautifully written.

107 years ago, my great-grandfather's tank, D51 'Deborah' was destroyed at Cambrai. To him fell the awful task of writing to the families of the men he commanded. The most eloquent tribute I can offer today . "All finer fellows than I shall ever be." #cambrai #cambraiday
