I’ve just made a cheesy pasta that was so intense I might be about to enter the cheese equivalent of cryogenic suspension. If I don’t make it out of the other side, it’s been great. Thank you for your indulgence.
We remember all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, whilst the buglers from the Bands of HM Royal Marines perform Last Post, enveloped within Poppy Fields created by @Luxmuralis in the ancient walls of @Winchester Cathedral.

Shambles, an old street in York, England; and one of best-preserved Medieval Shopping Streets in Europe. With its cobbled streets and overhanging timber-framed buildings, some dating back as far as 14th Century AD.
As recently as 1885 AD, thirty-one butchers' shops were located along street, but now none remain. Although butchers have now vanished, a number of shops on street still have meat-hooks hanging outside and, below them, shelves on which meat was displayed. Street was made narrow by design to keep meat out of direct sunlight.
Today, beautiful old buildings have been restored and now house cheerful cafés, quirky boutiques and even a coin & stamp dealer and smells are rather more pleasant with aromas from chocolate, fudge and sweet shops, clothes, accessories and gift shops.
