Like most of you reading this, I am too young to remember the war. I count myself very lucky that I have never known fighting on our own shores, but I am also very aware that there are wars going on around us all the time, our own country deeply involved in them and our own men getting killed.
The thing that has bought this all up today is the local museum which is just up the road from where I live. It has held a "Village at War" weekend and there are hundreds of people there today, enjoying the sunshine and this afternoon we had a Spitfire and Hurricane fly over the house. Even I can recognise the drone of their engines!
I just feel so thankful to those men and women who fought so that we can be here today, in comfort. I don't want to get negative, but I often wonder what they would think if they saw how Great Britain has turned out.
