Lest we forget



Amy Beechey is buried in Newport Cemetery, Lincoln. Her eight sons fought in The Great War but only three survived. In April 1918 she was presented to George V and Queen Mary for her immense sacrifice. She said to Queen Mary "It was no sacrifice Ma'Am I did not give them willingly."

The field.

We are still away. Stopped to photograph this yesterday after we spotted it from the car.  Hope everyone has a good weekend.  Arilx
