You only have to watch the likes of Saving Private Ryan for example or even the old news reels to realise how awful, truly awful it was. Have you ever been to the Imperial War Museum in Manchester. It is haunting and I do get overwhelmed with emotion in there looking at specifically the letters home from the soldiers and when they do their immersive experience of old recordings. It's a few years since I have been.Rachel Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875808936389030446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101883877426552626.post-32042913020686537992020-05-12T20:02:09.553+01:002020-05-12T20:02:09.553+01:00Hello - I will check the band but it's one I w...Hello - I will check the band but it's one I was gifted a long time ago when my lovely friend's lovely Mum sadly passed away.Rachel Flowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17875808936389030446noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5101883877426552626.post-61088954540679787412020-05-12T20:01:21.457+01:002020-05-12T20:01:21.457+01:00I might have to have a look see around at our loca...I might have to have a look see around at our local bakeries and farm shops - what a good idea.

I've even got some posh jam I could have with them :)<br />I must admit, I'm always a little taken aback by the amount of butter James Martin uses in his recipes.

I'm a cream on top person as well. The iris is absolutely stunning. We had a socially distanced get together here which was really nice. Queenie is something else isn't she - I love her. Not 100% sure about the future generations but I'm glad she's been at the helm for as long as she has.

Your scones look yummy, how good are you to bake half a batch. We have managed to get flour from our local cafe, they are not open for a sitdown, but you can pre-order any of their wonder food and get baking flour, eggs, sugar and milk. Our local bakery sells bread flour and yeast, local business's helping our community, hopefully you may have someone local to you.

I'm glad it's being recognised as the whole 'celebrity' thing fades and one can see the real heroes in life.
