Reunion

Noel and Rudi

Esme, Eleanor, me and Noel

What a lovely person my niece turned out to be and it was a real pleasure to meet her husband Rudi. We had a very nice meal together at The Happy Villa in Galgorm and Eleanor tells me the fried Icecream goes down a treat :)

At the going down of the sun...

Two years ago The Brave was published in Every Day Ficiton. It was written for the memory of Jedlina Andrej Jacobson. Today we again remember those who fought in that most necessary war and those who like Andrew were parted forever from their homeland and their loved ones.

Andrew was born in Poland but is buried in St Mary's Churchyard in Morpeth along with many other Poles and men of many nationalities.
