Bradbourne...

...a Doubly Thankful village...

A Thankful Village was said to be one which lost no men in the Great War as all those who had left to serve 'King and Country' came home again. Stats vary, but there are about 50 Thankful villages in England and wales.
Doubly Thankful Villages are those which suffered no troop deaths in both World War I and World War II - thought to be just 14.

We saw the sign and wondered, and just had to look it up...


The wild flowers are just cross the road from our cottage for the week. We're now all back home after a hearty breakfast at Carsington Water and a smooth journey to South Yorkshire. My sister then carried on back to Stokesley ;) 


A good week was had by all!
