Message from the Provincial Almoner
My Dear friends,
Tomorrow, 8th May, is, as you are aware, V.E. Day, which to quite a few of us will bring back memories. I recall my mother, on that day, coming out of the house and shouting, “It is all over.” I replied, “what is over, Mum?” She said, “The war.” I had never seen her so happy and she picked me up and swung me around. The whole country was still in turmoil, with bombed dwellings, shops and businesses. Thankfully we were not confined to our own homes and could mingle together, as it had been for the last five years.
