A Sensible Approach

Remembrancetide - as witnessed by this display in the window of the village florist - is way in the past now, but I hadn't wanted the reaction of the children at Church Club when we discussed it to go unrecorded. Having talked about it in assembly in the morning, they were as clued-up as 6-year-olds are likely to be about the history. Genevieve stuck up her hand. 'My great-grandad was in that war,' she informed us; I think there might have been a generation missing there, or she got the wrong war. 'But he wasn't killed,' she went on brightly, 'he was all right, because he ran away.'
