VE Day & other Ramblings

Well hello. What a change in the weather after a week of sunshine.  Here we are about to enter into week 8 of our lockdown and how are you all getting along?  Could any of you make sense of the latest information from the PM yesterday or are you as confused as the rest of us. I think we are going to continue as we have been until things become a little clearer



Every Christmas our Estates Department at the hospital puts Christmas decorations around the perimeter of the hospital.  They have set this display up outside in support of our colleagues and it looks amazing when you pass it in the evening.



This is our lovely postie who after much cajoling from the village residents decided to take part in the fancy dress at work which some postie have been taking part in around the country to cheer people up on their rounds.

He always has a hello and smile as he makes his deliveries and keeps a check on residents he knows lives alone.  At the last minute he set up a sponsorship page with all proceeds going to the NHS Charities and raised an amazing £1,320.

Well done Rob.





Did you all manage to put up your bunting and enjoy the VE celebrations?  We didn't put up bunting as we live so far away from anyone or anything that nobody would of seen it, and as we live up on a ridge I don't think it would have lasted too long with the winds we get here.

We were lucky enough to have the red arrows fly over on their way back to base at Scampton but boy do they move fast blink and you would miss them. The best way to view the video is to click the full screen square at the bottom of the video.

My daughter lives in Lincoln and as you can see she got a really good view of them as they set of their smoke to signal that they were home. 

We did however observe the one minute silence at 11am to remember all those we have lost not just in the war but also in our current war against Covid 19.

We did enjoy an afternoon tea in the garden with freshly baked scones, fairy cakes and sandwiches and raise a glass.

And lastly, last week I showed you the flower pot people that a local farmers children had made and set up at the bottom of the track to their farm.  This week they have added a sunflower which really did remind me of Bill and Ben the Flower Pot Men and Little Weed.  Anyone under fifty may have to google them to know what I am talking about.

Well that's it from me for now. 

I think the new slogan should of been 'Keep calm & remain safe'
