Well, the snow made for a beautiful photo today, but it certainly wasn’t easy for those family and friends who were hoping to say goodbye yet couldn’t travel…

It’s disappointing, but staying safe is always the priority - and remember, everyone doesn’t have to be in the same room to say goodbye. Just to know that person is loved and thought of is still enough… ❤️

“We Remember Still”

Each year, as poppies bloom anew,
And quiet falls where trumpets blew,
We stand once more beside the stone,
Where names, not faces, make their home.

We’ve held the hands of those who weep,
For memories love will always keep,
And watched the silence fill the air
A sacred pause, a whispered prayer.

The years roll on, the seasons turn,
Yet still, within, the candles burn,
For those who gave, and those who grieve,
For peace we promise to believe.

Here in Stoke, beneath November skies,
We see their stories in loved ones’ eyes,
And honour every life, every name,
Whose courage lit our freedom’s flame.

At Tudor-Davies, hearts still tend,
The gentle care that has no end,
For though our work is marked by rest,
Remembrance keeps their spirits blessed.

So when you see the red poppies fall,
Remember this, remember all
The bravery, love, and quiet grace,
That time and death shall not erase.

We remember still — and always will.
