VE Day…
Julian Thomas2022-08-18T13:27:04+01:00It's 75 years since Churchill declared that the war was over. It's a time to celebrate, to be happy and to be together, side by side in a celebration of this great news, but also to think of those people who do SO much for the people of this country and Europe. Sadly, we can't do everything that was planned, [...]
