Today it was warm and sunny, and I spent all day at the museum slaving over a hot photocopier in preparation for next term's History Detectives. Grrrrr!
Meanwhile Father went to Eddie Broadburn's funeral, a lifelong friend and a few years senior to him at school. This led to discussion of boys in Pa's school photo. He is one of the little ones at the front, there was an assortment of cousins throughout the school, and Uncle Peter is among the sixth-formers who are clearly identified by their wearing sports jackets rather than blazers. A good few of those hopeful young men (born in 1920/21) would be dead within a few years, but of those who survived the war we think that Uncle Peter now is the only member of that sixth form left.
Joe has been to Wrexham on a fact-finding visit (jolly) with members of the West Lindsey Churches Festival Committee - that's a heck of a long way in a minibus! Sooner him than me. He had my camera (he took 64 pictures) which is what delayed my taking a photo of the photo above to post here.

Very interesting. I guess that you forgot to show us the photo. That enabled us to stretch our imaginations - lol
