whoopwhoop..

Said:
This is exactly the sort of thing our children, through school or youth groups, toshould be involved in, to give them some understanding of recent history, and responsibility.
I could not agree more.

I recently had a nice letter from the vicar thanking me on behalf of the PCC for my efforts in regard to cleaning up the two graves wherein he said:
The grave of Sgt Lancelot Hiller has been particularly noticed by many who live in the village and was very popular with year 3 & 4 boys and girls from the Primary School doing a social history project in the churchyard.
That the children noticed, pleased me immensely. The other evening whilst watering Walter Smith's grave the two little boys who live in the local shop turned up to show the grave of Lancelot Hiller to their Dad.He said that his boys insisted he come over and have a look. That too made me very happy.
