My Great Great Uncle John was killed in 1917. He has no known grave and is commemorated at Tyne Cot, and we visited with a very small E in 2017 for the centenary of his death.
At the going down of the Sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.

Mystery anonymous person, you have concealed yourself very neatly but your very generous donation has topped me up to a solid £1000! Thank you! That’s four full days of a Macmillan nurse and many people who will benefit from your generosity! THANK YOU X

Final training walk for the Macmillan Mighty Hike in a fortnight. Will I run a marathon? Absolutely not. Will I walk one with pre-advertised snack breaks? Absolutely.

Said a sad farewell to our very elderly tabby cat earlier. She has been the oldest cat on the books at the vets for ages, at the grand old age of at least twenty four. She’s been ours for twelve of those and we loved her for all of that time. Rest well Molly.

Four hours stuck on a train involved in a critical incident, and finally on the way home. This did mean the whole carriage got to meet Luna who is a Very Good Dog and permitted much fussing and caressing of ears.
