Ruth and her family have come to Bernafay Wood B&B for many years and this year we are particularly happy for Ruth because her animated short film, which has been a long time in preparation, has been completely finished.

A War to End No Wars, was released on-line on the 1st July 2017 to coincide with the 101st battle of the Somme anniversary and it seems to have been well received so far.

The film has been working its way round the international film festival circuit over the last 6 months and has been chosen multiple times as an Official Selection worldwide as well as an being an award winner.

Mike stayed with us and came with a beautiful gift for our guest house.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This display was put by Mike spring 2016 on the dinning room wall.


Mike's aunt was given all the letters by her grandfather but she doesn't realise how important it was.
Of course Mike did and did the story.


The grandfather Mr Alcock was at side of Captain Nevill, he was his friend.

 

Mr Charles Alcock survived the war and be old man.
