Wednesday 9th May


Wednesday 9th May
Somewhat sobering start to the day as watched clips from Great Ormond Street hospital programme that was on last night.  Parents having to make huge decisions about which course of treatment to give their sick child, or instances where the doctors just do not know what action to take next.
 (Hubby and I are attending the Hoe Down, Show Down at the RJA & HS on 26th May, in aid of Gt Ormond St, there are tickets available)

We arrived at the States this morning at 10.15am for a short service before being escorted down to Liberation Square, where a very moving service of Remembrance was conducted.
Fortunately the rain held off and although a little windy it was perfect for the whole service. We had a lunch with over 100 people at the Ambassador Hotel, again good to see so many familiar faces, (most of them St Martin!) and it finished up with a sing-song!!
A long day but none-the-less most enjoyable and I felt privileged to be able to be part of it.
