The Women's Land Army

[Ron]

The British government has finally got around to recognising the role played by the Women's Land Army in wartime Britain.

In any case, I atach below the picture of my much loved sister Polly, 90 this year, in her wartime uniform

It's not difficult to guess that she's your sister !

90: what a lucky lady !

Ron, I read with enormous interest your sister's memories. They gave me an idea of what life was like during wartime: normally, there are many possibilities to know what armies did, but these flash-backs on everyday's life are really precious!
Thank you so much and, please, express to your dear sister all my best wishes for her wonderfully reached age!

Hi Nania

Thank you for your comment and good wishes which I will pass on to my sister.

You might be interested to know that I have two other sisters also in their nineties, one of them, Esther, pictured here with Polly (who is seated on the right) is 94 !

Best wishes

Ron

And all of you are drinking from the fountain of the ethernal youth!
...or it was just champagne?

[Nona Picia]

Che bella famiglia, Ron!

[Ron]

Grazie a tutti !

Just had to show you another sister, Gertie, who is now 92 and yes....we are all very grateful at still being together

[nanaia]

I agree with Macondo! You really found the fountain of eternal youth!
Ron, you are then the "kid" of the group

[Ron]

Nanaia

It is a standing family joke that whenever we all get together I am introduced by my sistera as being their "baby brother"

At my present age of 84 this does get a few raised eyebrows

[nanaia]

...and let them raise, for many years to come
