VE Day

For VE Day in The Lodge, we have been making a display to commemorate all of the soldiers coming home to their families. Today we have had a coffee morning while we reminisced on photo's of street parties, Winston Churchill, newspaper clippings and soldiers being merry. We sang some songs from that era including songs from Vera Lynn and George Formby amongst many others and enjoyed a quiz. We have enjoyed hearing our residents memories from having a brother who was a prisoner of war in Japan, remembering all the ladies pulling their rations together to make a feast for the village to all crouching around the one telly in the village to watch Winston Churchill's parade.
