We’d like to say a huge thank you to the Bracebridge Heath WI who made these lovely poppies for us this year.

Today we remember all service men and women and thank them for their dedication and sacrifice.

Here at the cottage we especially think of Sydney Shepherd, whom Mrs Smith met in Henley-on-Thames, in her early 20s, we believe them to have been engaged at that time, but he sadly died in France of pneumonia in 1917.
