Posted on 27/06/2017 00:21 by DavidKlyneIt's something I can never understand. Most people that seem to attend such things won't remember the war anyway. Oh dash I mentioned the war, lets hope I got away with it.

That's my thinking entirely. This weekend rejoices in the title "Meltham Memories" As you said there won't be any of the participants old enough to remember and I suspect most of them won't live in the village either.
There is one upside to this, we get to see a fly over from a couple of vintage aircraft, usually a spitfire or a hurricane and sometimes a Dakot.

I don' t think people like my 94 year old Mum would be the least offended. But she does get fed up with people who think older people want to be entertained with war time songs, she does like other things! I wonder what we'll have to listen to if we reach a great age? Choirs singing Bob Dylan or the Beatles?

At Thetford Club Site about 11 days ago There was a "Desert Rats" Gathering -- with nobody remotely old enough to remember WW II, but with East Anglian units, Gurkhas, Royal British Legion, Tankies etc etc all well represented there were lots who will remember other, more recent conflicts ! 40's music ruled but the problems I had was in keeping out of the way of the folk dancing to that music -- don't think their Spacial Awareness was all it might have been !!

One of those busy weekends, everything from listening to heavy metal in the park to OH winning a coconut. Then struggling on to the finale, an open garden Sunday afternoon, my sister's town garden looking good, her cakes and scones went down well to those willing to cough up for a local charity. Lovely weather in the SW but as usual the M5 was jammed.....

Last day of our stop on a CL at Whitby. Had a smashing 8 mile walk from Robin Hood's Bay to Ravenscar and back yesreday, then today headed into Whitby as Mrs.WN wanted to draw one or two things so had some Fish and Chips as a reward. Everywhere heaving but the sun's out and all good natured.
Enjoyed our time up here and will return.
Amazingly someone turned up on the cl last night without checking if they were full and without booking. Funnily enough in the height of season and a weekend to boot the cl was full so they were turned away even though there was room.
