It'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.tongue-out

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? laughing

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  wink!!

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.....smilewink

Lovely roses brue! Been a nice day up here as well, glad I cut those roses the other day, have lost a lot to the heavy rain, but new buds are showing!

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.

Surprising how people do turn up on CLs, I wonder where they went?!

We have rain today in Devon, happy to see some, it's been so dry in the SW. Decisions  about what to do today, maybe just another amble round! smile

Serious question ( but pointless as I may never attempt it) has anyone towed a caravan up to Lake Molveno (864m A/S) and how difficult/easy was it?
