Day 7 Sat 18 March Finish

Day 7 - Saturday 18 March Stratford upon Avon

Arrived to a massive welcome of WRAC Association Members and an (almost) local Jazz Band.

I'd love to write a proper Blog but I don't have any pictures . . . . . YET!!

Off to celebrate with over 100 Women's Royal Army Corps veterans and then a parade tomorrow at 10am.

I will finish my Blog tomorrow - if I've got some pictures to show!!

Thanks for all the support and the massive donations. Reached over £4,000 and rising,

THANK YOU ALL
