The little ships sail once again today... Operation Dynamo 85. Both my Great Uncles Tommy and Mildon were on the beaches at Dunkirk waiting to be rescued with the British Expeditionary Force, but this was just the start of their war..

That’s a lot of coffee Lovely pot 🤭

Early start was worth it... I thought Wrexham would have an almighty hangover today!! Pleased with my bargain Woodsware Beryl coffee pot and spoons to practice my stamping words on from the carboot! I'm on the lookout for a Beryl teapot 👍😁👍😁 Morning 🌞

Chocolate free zone this Easter.. but I did bake my seeded Snowdonia honey cake, poppy, sunflower,pumpkin seeds with lots of dates instead of sugar, orange & lemon juice & zest. Wholemeal flour, ground almonds & Anglesey sea salt butter! 😋 Happy Easter 🐰 🐣

Mum & I in a trench on the Somme, my dad died when I was so young.. she supported me in all I did. As a nurse of WW2 Veterans, she taught me all I know about Respect & Remembrance, I wonder what she'd think of me swapping Nursing for Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal? #Mothersday

Where did you get that hat? I spotted what I thought to be the same style hat my Nanna wore on her wedding day in 1941!! I just need a whole new outfit to wear with my new hat (well original 1940s hat) and hope I can do it the same justice 💖

In Wrexham commemorations will begin with a service of remembrance at St Giles’ Church on Thursday, May 8.

Yesterday as @PreservePenley I visited the Penley Polish Heritage Project at Penley church. Lovely to see Wrexham Mayor visiting too. It's been a long road raising awareness about Penley! Go along and see the pop up exhibition.. #Wrexham ##LestWeForget

There are Christmas Gifts today on Day 22 of HutVent 2024, but Lyndsay tells us about one that rarely gets a mention... youtu.be/EVWg6_AGK4s #HutVent #HutVent2024

First World War Christmas, number 20: ‘With a Hearty Greeting’. In 1914, Cadburys, a Quaker company, committed to sending boxes of chocolate to wounded soldiers in hospital. Initially sent in tins, card boxes were later sent. Cadburys otherwise refused to supply the military on ethical grounds

@clairey-lew.bsky.social knows every style, she loves it. I think it’s horrible 🤣

Sorry I missed you this time.

Lovely to see you again, Claire. Thanks for coming along!

I've had a wonderful day at a very unique exhibition at the @greatwarhuts.bsky.social with @profpeterdoyle.bsky.social 👍😁

It’s Friday, and that means it must be Day Six of HutVent! Today, in our 1914 series, Lyndsay is talking Huts (of course!)... youtu.be/KJWKlUuIdPY #HutVent2024 #HutVent #Huts

I'm in Suffolk!!

Are we nearly there yet? I think they have moved Suffolk 🤣

And very nice they look to 😊👍🏻

We are going on a road trip over the border!! So I made some Bakestones for the journey 😁👍

It is Day 5 of HutVent 2024. Today Kev tells how the British shortage of artillery during the South African War led to the Territorial Royal Horse Artillery firing German-made 15pdr shells back at the German Army again... youtu.be/jQ3bVEKuDi4 #HutVent #HutVent2024

First World War Christmas, number 5. ‘From your loving son. We are happy here.’ Home made Christmas cards for George Beaney, 13th Gloucestershires in 1916. Sadly, Pte Beaney succumbed to his wounds on 28th December; his story a tragic reminder of the vicissitudes of war, his family changed forever

On the third day of HutVent 2024, Lyndsay tells the story of the colourful uniforms the British Army left behind... youtu.be/zREoQ-5J_lc #HutVent #HutVent2024

Vintage Christmas card of the day.... #vintage #ChristmasCard
