Photograph found among Dad's things after his death. One member of this crew is still living and is based in Tasmania. Dad's crew flew the marker missions to light the targets for the bombers - a most exacting task only given to the best crews!

Second anniversary of Alma's death.  What a shame.

Oh my goodness.

It's now 5 years since Alma died.  RIP.  ..and we can't even meet in the Shakespeare to raise a dram in commemoration.  :(

Yes it is very sad.  I lost my beloved Mum to Cancer nearly 2 years ago, and I cannot hold a commemorative drink to her either at the moment.  She was the only close relative I had. We did have a lovely Wake for her in the Shakespeare on the day of her funeral, and I am hoping to have a commemorative occasion for her when the pandemic is over.  I trust we will all, some time, be able to do so for our departed loved ones when we are able to do so.

My Mum also passed away in St Michael's Ward, at St Joseph's Hospice.  I also lost my best friend in the same place.  It is heart breaking.  So, I understand these anniversaries so well.
