   no bull- I wear a poppy badge all year… I think we owe so much to these men, women and children that died in the wars we have been in.

   indeed- the fact we can debate and discuss how bad things are etc is down to their sacrifice.

   I have done a lot of reading about the wars (esp WW1) and noticed that where there was an absence of authority to the contrary- peoples of both sides stopped fighting and started talking.

   I guess the cliche that the ordinary people just did not want to fight is true.

   I hope we never forget those that died.

   Thanks to a new headmaster, my daughter’s school is observing the 2 minute silence today. She’s been watching some of the Discovery programmes with me about WW2, and her empathy for those who died has filled me with pride. She’s only 9 but has made some observations way beyond her years. I hope she will always remember and respect those who died for our freedom.

   Sorry, pressed ’submit’.

   Our local Primary held a 2 minutes silence today. As did I.

   I pulled over the R/T car today and stood to attn outside. As did 2 buses nearby (which I thought was great). Half of the cars driving past braked and stared (you know how they do when we’re at the roadside) and I really don’t think any of them had a clue what was happening. A bit sad, really.

   I always put time away on the 11/11 to remember the fallen. It is something my kids do, and I hope something their children will do.

   When you go home, tell them of us and say
   “For your to-morrows these gave their to-day.”
