Trying to see if this website is still working. A while ago we made skelleton marionettes. Mine looked like Benedict Cumberbatch, so we called him Benedict Pumpkinpatch. We made some videos of the skelletons dancing around, … and laughed and laughed. It was hillarious…

The War is over after all these years it doesn’t seem true. Went over to aerodrome mess in car with Jack Fisher and wife. Played piano. Met Canadian girl (war bride).
Everyone had holiday today. Went to dance till 2 o’clock. Marched in Torch parade with band singing and shouting. Wonderful bonfire with Swastika on top. All Cranleigh was lit up and flags flying, fire-works shooting about.

Went to dance on Wednesday till 12. Welcomed more prisoners. Gave them books. Met Ken Lee from Birmingham. They’re really all the best boys from England, all R.A.F. officers and really well spoken. It’s interesting to see their souvenirs and talk to them. They gave us German money. They’re all Officers in the R.A.F.
Saturday May 12
Went to show saw “The Adventures of Mark Twain”. Mr & Mrs. Kingdon and Ethel came for cup to tea etc. I lost glass out of French watch Deans had lent me, thus bending one of the hands.

My website was hacked or something a while ago and Candace got it fixed. But it seems messed up. I’ve been trying to fix things and update items. I think it needs an overhaul.
The latest news here is that Sammi and Hodge got engaged while on a romantic sleighride. Wedding plans are in the works.
