Classic Emmerdale 2003 Terry Woods Stroke Storyline.

I am really enjoying the Terry Woods stroke storyline on Classic Emmerdale 2003 at the minute on itv3. Its from October 2003 from when I was seventeen years old from when I was in my first year at College after I left Southlands School from when I was younger. The storyline is about how serious strokes can be and how series it is when people have strokes in real life and it also makes you realise how serious it is when people have stroke in real life to.

My Cavachons companions

My two little Cavachons were born on 15th September 2018. Dad was a Cavalier King Charles spaniel and Mum was a Bichon Frise. The breeder was in Ryton, where I had never been before ,so it was a bit of an adventure to find the address. I initially went for a male dog and when I saw the female she melted my heart, so I bought both of them. Harvey is the male and Coco is the female.

Of course after 8 weeks after being weened from Mum I went to collect them and within a week they had been to the vets and had their jabs and check ups. After a couple of months on advice from the vet they were spayed and neutered as they were brother and sister.

They are now 5 years old next September 2023 and my little darlings. They make me laugh every day and are such good company. They both have their own little natures and personalities. Harvey is the leader and protects us all even though he is only 14 inches high. Coco is the cuddly one who loves lots of cuddles and being close to me. She is scared of everything and runs to my side at any sight of a stranger or a loud bang.

Harvey does have his moments especially when he is tired and likes to lie down next to me watching TV in the evenings.

WW1 Armistice of 11th November 1918

The Armistice of 11 November 1918 was the armistice signed at Le Francport near Compiègne that ended fighting on land, sea, and air in World War I between the Entente and their last remaining opponent, Germany. Previous armistices had been agreed with Bulgaria, the Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary. It was concluded after the German government sent a message to American president Woodrow Wilson to negotiate terms on the basis of a recent speech of his and the earlier declared “Fourteen Points“, which later became the basis of the German surrender at the Paris Peace Conference, which took place the following year.

Also known as the Armistice of Compiègne (French: Armistice de Compiègne, German: Waffenstillstand von Compiègne) from the place where it was officially signed at 5:45 a.m. by the Allied Supreme Commander, French Marshal Ferdinand Foch, it came into force at 11:00 a.m. Central European Time (CET) on 11 November 1918 and marked a victory for the Allies and a defeat for Germany, although not formally a surrender.

The actual terms, which were largely written by Foch, included the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front, the withdrawal of German forces from west of the Rhine, Allied occupation of the Rhineland and bridgeheads further east, the preservation of infrastructure, the surrender of aircraft, warships, and military materiel, the release of Allied prisoners of war and interned civilians, eventual reparations, no release of German prisoners and no relaxation of the naval blockade of Germany. The armistice was extended three times while negotiations continued on a peace treaty. The Treaty of Versailles, which was officially signed on 28 June 1919, took effect on 10 January 1920.

Fighting continued up until 11 a.m. CET on 11 November 1918, with 2,738 men dying on the last day of the war.

Background

Deteriorating situation for the Germans

German prisoners of war captured near Amiens in late August 1918

The military situation for the Central Powers had been deteriorating rapidly since the Battle of Amiens at the beginning of August 1918, which precipitated a German withdrawal to the Hindenburg Line and loss of the gains of the German spring offensive. The Allied advance, later known as the Hundred Days Offensive, entered a new stage on 28 September, when a massive United States and French attack opened the Meuse–Argonne offensive, while to the north, the British were poised to assault at the St Quentin Canal, threatening a giant pincer movement.

Meanwhile, the Ottoman Empire was close to exhaustion, the Austro-Hungarian Empire was in chaos, and on the Macedonian front, resistance by the Bulgarian Army had collapsed, leading to the Armistice of Salonica on 29 September. In Germany, chronic food shortages caused by the Allied blockade were increasingly leading to discontent and disorder. Although morale on the German front line was reasonable, battlefield casualties, starvation rations and Spanish flu had caused a desperate shortage of manpower, and those recruits that were available were war-weary and disaffected.
