Cup of tea makes everything better.
a friend of mine used to look after a scout hut on the coast in devon in maidencombe , it just sold for 280k !! hope they put it to a good use
incredible pic , my family had a narrow miss in the blitz . they were due to leave the house on the monday but somehow left on the sunday instead . it was my grandads birthday on the sunday and a doodlebug hit the house sun pm
it caused complete devastation except for one wall on which hung a lopsided text hitherto hath the Lord helped us
later my grandad returned to rescue his birthday cake , blew the dust off it and ate it . !!!

I wonder if his thoughts were related to this event.

He was a young lad then and knew some of the soldiers that were killed. They camped on the families farm and nearby.
