I usually try to pref- ace my piece with something amusing, but at this horrible time in our lives it does not seem appropriate or apt. I I started writing on what should have been a celebratory day in our world history, but sadly we are going through an extremely surreal situation and our thoughts and lives are in a very unreal space. The many celebrations and fun that should have been taking place at this time have been overshadowed by an unseen enemy. In spite of this we need to show respect and give thanks to the many people who went through such horrendous times, and then on May 8th, 1945 were able to give vent to much joy and of course some sadness. I hope you will enjoy, as I have, reading the many thought-provoking snapshots of memories from villagers on the momentous occasion of VE Day. It seems so trite at this time to comment on articles and contents of the magazine, but as bizarre as it seems life has to go on. This will be an edition straddling several months where many of our clubs’ and societies’ activities have not been able to go ahead and therefore had limited material to recount upon. I would like to write a few words of great thanks to the many people in our community who have been so re- sourceful, and community spirited throughout this horrible period. Suffice to say the people of the village are coming through this ghastly time showing a great spirit and, in many ways, mirroring the times of 75 years ago. As many of us have more spare time on our hands at the moment it would be good to pay a bit of attention to our hedges and grass verges. To try and keep pathways easily accessible and also of course be aware of the litter situation. Remember to be very mindful of safety precautions when picking up litter. On a much brighter note, Holmer Green Today would just like to report that over the last six years your magazine has been able to donate over eight and a half thousand pounds to various village societies and pro- jects. We are always happy to consider any project suggestions from villagers. We would like to thank the Parish council for its kind contribution towards our production costs and Stuart King for some of the VE Day press cuttings. We at the magazine can only wish the whole community better times and a return to some sort of normality. A normality where we all will need to take more care than ever of each other and continue to give support and understanding to all those who need it.
