    As it is VE day this week, and it's May Bank Holiday & Remembrance (Poppy) Day next week we can go with a Red, White and Blue theme to capture a bit of nostalgia.

    As usual you're welcome to interpret it as widely as you wish but please read the rules below.

    So get your thinking caps on :)
