On VE day parents were 4 &5, doubt they would remember much.
Would be more interesting to find out what grandparents were doing, but that will be one of the questions that was never asked til it was too late. Were those serving in the forces home?I'm a Forum Ambassador on the housing, mortgages & student money saving boards.

Too late to ask my mum what she was doing on VE day. She was 15, and at an English boarding school that had been evacuated to Wales.
Will try to ask my dad what he was doing. Something with radar equipment in the naval base at Portsmouth, I imagine, having been there for several months by that point, if my rather vague grasp of "what he did in the War" is correct. He was 18.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

After staying up a lot of last night I am having an undemanding and relaxing evening tonight. I have been to the excellent chip shop down the road and am now eating pie and chips, while happily contemplating the fact that Y12 are now on study leave so for the first weekend in ages I have NO MARKING until at least Monday.

I did myself no favours by keeping an eye on the election results through the night, I have had an undemanding day and have just heard Ohs taxi pull up so I will exert myself and make him mint tea.0
