VE Day

Well what an emotional VE Weekend we have all had. Our family held a VE Party on the 8th of May. We sang along to all the World War Two songs, watched the Ceremony at the Cenotaph, and sat in respectful silence at 3pm.

Then on Saturday we watched the superb Party to Remember. Everyone must have been in floods of tears as Jane Horrocks struggled to read out the letter from Lieutenant George Morrison, which was to be given to his mother in the event of his death. Sadly like so many, many other Mums she received that letter.

It was a very emotional and educational  concert. We owe so much to all of those men and women who lost their lives fighting for our country and our freedom.

This afternoon I created this picture as a very small tribute to VE Day. 

The words with the music say " In England's Green and Pleasant Land" from 'Jerusalem'

The  Poppy Field Stamp is made by Crafty Individuaals.

Remembering all of those who lost their lives during World War Two.



“Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy"

My winning Lavinia Stamp Goodies arrived today!

Oh aren't they lovely. I love the hare stamps they are so cute but realistic. I can't wait to use them. I also  received a Gelli Plate, I have never used one before. I think they are mostly meant to be used with paints but as I have to do all of my crafting on a lap tray balanced on my knee, I think painting will be too messy so I will try to use my ink pads.

Many thanks to Lavinia Stamps for the lovely goodies.
