This day in #StrangeAsItSeems history!

June 15th, 1944

This was 9 days after D-Day, the same day my granduncle John Hix died - from myocarditis.

Always a good day out; "Tissington Well Dressings".
Nice to see "Guide Dogs for the Blind" represented, not just a marquee, but Yew Tree Well decorated as well.
