Lest We Forget.

Today we celebrate the 80th Anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe. Sadly the war continued in the far east and the pacific, with many of those who celebrated here being redeployed and never returning home.

It was right to celebrate this day. The conflict cost approximately 80 million lives, both military and civilian. Its devastation is unmatched. It is important that we remember and never ever lose sight of the toll it took across our planet.

Even if it is not your way to celebrate such things, we feel it is right to reflect and to show respect for every single life that was lost.

As I’ve already posted, the brilliant VE Day period costume exhibition arranged by Friends of Mostyn Street and Home Front Museum is now open at St. John’s Methodist Church on Mostyn Street, Llandudno. It’s worth a visit. It was lovely to see some of the local Veterans attending.

As we approach the 80th Anniversary of VE Day, we were more than happy to help sponsor this excellent upcoming exhibition alongside our friends from the Home Front Museum, and Friends of Mostyn Street. It starts on Wednesday 7th May 2025, at St. John’s Methodist Church, Mostyn Street.

Happy Easter from us all at L-B&H. We hope you are having a peaceful weekend.

Thank you for the kind invite to the Closing Celebration at Blind Veterans UK Llandudno Centre of Wellbeing. It is such a travesty that we are losing this amazing place. I’ve been able to help out in a small way there and have got to know the incredible staff, whose lives are now changed beyond words. Good luck to every single one of you. The whole town will miss you.

Apologies for the lack of posting of late. We have been incredibly busy. Thank you to our lovely friends who have kept us going with cakes, biscuits and kindness. It really helps especially on days where we work well into the evening and sometimes through the night. And thank you to every one of our families who have trusted their loved ones to our care. It is always a huge privilege.

What many people don’t realise is that we often get called when everyone else is asleep, and sometimes multiple times, and are then back in the office first thing in the morning. Just a few days ago we worked through three shift changes at our local Hospital, seeing three different sets of people. It is the way it has always been in the funeral service. It can be exhausting. It’s the quirky little gifts and kind words that make you smile, and keep you going.

Our friend Pam visited today with some thank you gifts and one of them is now on my desk. Yes…it’s a top hat wearing Easter Chick/funeral director .

Have a peaceful weekend everyone.

Today we remember all those who lost their lives during the Covid 19 pandemic. We all know of someone who died and families who struggled so much during those difficult times. We all know front line workers who risked their lives on a daily basis to protect us, and to keep caring for us.

So today we reflect on our loss and give thanks to those who worked so hard.

There are nearly quarter of a million hand painted hearts on the Covid Memorial Wall in Westminster, let’s not forget them.
