Dame Vera Lynn has died aged 103. That is certainly a life well lived, and yet like many others her death has deeply saddened me.

Dame Vera was a part of the soundtrack of my childhood. My parents were fans, so I grew up listening to her music. I loved it then, and I love it now. Her pure voice, perfect diction, and plaintive songs of hope still move me. She has been a part of the soundtrack of my adulthood too, in particular, "We'll Meet Again" was played at the end of my dad's funeral service.

Sundays 6:00-8:00pm est. and repeated on Saturdays 4:00am-6:00am est.

I know curry isn't exactly a breakfast food, in fact, I don't even think I could eat it for breakfast, however, during the week I received a curry kit from my good mate, and former guest on the All Day Breakfast, Ranger Nick. I also promised last week on the show that I'd make it, and make it I did, and recorded the process so you could hear how it went on this week's show. I'm pleased to say it's the best curry I've ever made, so I can highly recommend check these kits out at www.rangernick.com.au
