Celebrating Remembrance Day at Wimborne at our St Giles Jolly Day
Our Wimborne St Giles Jolly Day this week really was a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Our Jolly crew - Kate, Sarah and Anni transported us to the days of World War II by dressing as landgirls.
We talked together and shared our memories of the war. Margaret remembered a plane crashing near Wimborne St Giles. She told us no one was allowed to go near in case it exploded! We looked at wartime rations - and marvelled at how anyone survived on such meagre amounts. Only one egg and 2 oz cheese per adult a week! Luckily The Friendly Food Club didn’t ration us when it came to our delicious lunch. We had good old sausage and mash, onion gravy, roasted carrots and red cabbage followed by that all round British favourite, treacle sponge pudding and custard. Yum!
Edna showed us her expert colouring, isn’t it lovely? And some of us went for a walk in the sunshine but made sure we were back in time for Kate’s quiz and a cuppa. What a marvellous day we had!
