I hope that you had a good morning? Iona has shared a couple of photos of her VE celebrations with me, it looks like she had a great time – the food looked delicious and she was giving it away! That was a really kind gesture Iona. Sinjon has shared some of his VE day celebration pictures; vintage American vehicles. He’s also shared some of his gardening exploits!

I do love seeing your photo’s please keep sending them in!
