Celebrating VE Day 2020

 If things had been different, we would have been celebrating VE Day on 16th May in the village hall, with a 1940's style party, and launch of a Crafted Timeline.

As we cannot be together on that day, here are some suggestions from Breckland Council as to how we can celebrate at home.
