I am off on holiday from tomorrow but will (hopefully) be posting from a far via the medium of blogger scheduled posting!
All this week and particularly today though another journey has been on my mind- that made by thousands of soldiers from northern France to the southern coasts of the British Isles during the battle and evacuation of Dunkirk- and by thousands of boats from these islands to get them. I am thinking of our own family hero particularly, not an important man but a very brave and very modest one- so modest in fact that I never knew his Dunkirk story while he was alive. There aren't really enough words to describe how exceptional all the people involved were or how hard it must have been for them. My glass is raised to you all.

Have a wonderful holiday with lots of shopping xo
Best wishes for a wonderful trip!
I am most moved by quiet heroic actions. Many thanks to your unsung relative, and of course to all those with him. A nod to the words of the Lion, Churchill, on that occasion, too.
Have a great holiday. I've been remembering Dunkirk too, my grandfather was there. Incredible how they sent the flotilla over to rescue them.
