I have seen a number of "poppys" around which remind me of one of my favorite poems - all my life, "In Flanders Field the poppies blow, between the crosses row on row..." Let us never forget.Marlynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14130652052406504185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-65371333250618856642010-05-31T13:35:17.951-05:002010-05-31T13:35:17.951-05:00I learned so much from your post, Elizabeth.

We have 'Remebrance Day' in November; World War 1 was officially 'finished' by Germany signing the Armistice on the 11th day of the 11th month - and at the the 11th hour. We have two minutes' silence to commemorate the fallen from both wars. These days tho, it tends to be Remembrance Sunday - the nearest Sunday to the 11th. No less important for it though. <br />This Spring Bank Holiday is the first day off school for many here too as we start a week long term break....a long haul till the summer break up at the 20 something of July. I wonder when I'll top measuring seasons in terms?<br />There's an award for you over at my blog!Julia Dunnithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02164574850662878118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-47329022548886333292010-05-31T10:03:46.853-05:002010-05-31T10:03:46.853-05:00This is indeed an awesome post.

There is a sad stillness in that graveyard and as you walk along the beach, you can almost hear the wind whispering to you of the deaths of the many soldiers. <br /><br />On the lighter side, I appreciated reading about the bank holidays in the UK. <br />Thanks for posting.Healing Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13654497453272680145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14359045.post-75240891260407821952010-05-31T06:52:22.983-05:002010-05-31T06:52:22.983-05:00Hope you have a great day, Elizabeth!
