Ainger Holbrows...

what a great name and the proprietor has a cool name too!

Went for a walk in Hadleigh near Ipswich this afternoon. Back to the Second Hand Bookshop which was closed last time I came.

Found a book about WW1 which I am now researching having discovered my Grandad's role in it through my family tree research. I found he was on the Front Line in WW1 in Ypres. I found his Military service record.

Happy weekend Blippers!
