Here we are. We went to Tenterden yesterday, to see the Cavell van.
It was lovely to see it, and coupled to it was a waggon, or sister waggon to the one that would have carried the guard of honour as the train raced through the Kent countryside to London.
And here's inside. Beautifully done, wint interpretation panels, and even some firkins to represent barrels of soil brought back from the battlefields in which to inter the Warrior.
It all smelled beautifully of new paint. The floor is the very floor on which people would have walked on thos momentous days 90 years ago. We learnt that since Nurse Cavell's body was carried, all vans of this type were then known as Cavell vans.
A most appropriate day to visit, it being 11th Novmeber. We had had the privilege beforehand of being at the Boys' Grammar (thank you J!), as they dedicated their new weathervane (a memorial to their airmen).
The tunes and songs of the musical are still in my head. Thank you everfyone who has posted and emailed to say how much they enjoyed it.
