I chirped to myself, “Self.” (and I knew it was me, cause I recognized my chirp) “Today is going to be a good day!”⁣

Autumn’s here. The nights are getting colder. The creeper’s turning red and the trees bleed golden in the leaf. Even the birds are quiet; lean pickings from now on.

❤️ Yesterday, we welcomed 18 wonderful Veterans who worked at Bletchley Park during WW2 to return to the once top-secret site for the Annual Veterans’ Reunion.

Aged between 97 to (almost) 102, Veterans enjoyed an afternoon tea in the Mansion, spending time together, with family and friends and reminiscing on their wartime experiences.

Hazel Halter, who worked in the Naval Section during WW2, is now 99 years old and attended the reunion for the first time. She said: "I am so glad I came here to my first reunion. I have had a most enjoyable time. I was so happy during my time working at Bletchley Park, with wonderful friends. It has brought back so many lovely memories."

Tonight, a world within a world: just the ticking of an old clock and the electric chatter of the bats outside the window.

It’s been a busy day of lovely groups and guided tours and now a moment of calm with a mug of tea, a dog and a rainbow.
