@PaMemorial Brilliant. I met a couple of the ☘️ players yesterday. I’m working on Saturday so I’ll miss the game. Hope you guys all have as great time and yes may the best team win.

@PaMemorial No worries Dave hope all is well.
We are off over to the Somme at the end of June for a couple of weeks.
Staying in Authuille for a few days and catching the service at Lochnagar Crater and Thiepval on the 1st.
Possibility of visiting a “couple of our boys” along the way..

A great afternoon with the P5/6 pupils at @sacred_heartps They have been reading War Horse and learning about WW1 and have done some great stuff about Anne Frank. Chatted about the animals and their roles in war. Great to see the next generation of historians.
Big 👍🏽 to Ms Taylor
