It's a pretty poignant day here today...
Armistice Day...a day when we take 2 minutes to remember all those who died in the Second World War...
[Armistice Day (also known as Remembrance Day) is on the 11th of November and commemorates the Armistice signed between the Allies of World War 1 and Germany at Compiégne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front of World War 1. This took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning ~ the
''eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month'' of 1918]

My dear old nan was born on this day, way back in 1917, Bless her, she would have been 94 today! She left us 5 years ago, well, it will be 6 years in January. How those 6 years have flown by!
So, not only have I been thinking about nan, but all those brave soldiers in the past, those who have been killed or injured in Afghanistan and those still there right now. Terry's son, Jamie, is in the army. He's in the Royal Engineers. He's been to Afghan three times...and seen the horrors going on over there...
LEST WE SHOULD FORGET...
God Bless those who have gone before and those still there...may you all come back home safely x
Remembering is so important...hopefully the majority will come home and we can remeber and celebrate their service NOT thier loss. Diane x
