Remembrance Day

Hi everyone!

This weekend I went along to a memorial in my town, for the soldiers who all lost their lives for us to be here today. I feel that the least I could do was write one small post with a few pictures, to show my respect to those who have lost their lives and still and risking them today. (Also, currently whilst writing this: I'm sat with Jasmine in a coffee shop - the irony is brilliant.)

I think its amazing how a group of people can come together on the same day to remember those who lost their lives in aid of us who are living today. As we arrived, everyone was wearing their poppies with pride and watching as the ceremony continued. I do love seeing the poppies being around at this time of year - but I do believe we should maybe remember these soldiers all year round by wearing a poppy - just not in November. Granted, I don't wear a poppy every day of the year but I always feel bad that I don't do this when I visit this ceremony every year! (Does that make any sense?)

Once again, we did turn up a little later than usual, but we didn't miss out on too much (thank goodness!) I never really realise how many people from my town are a part of the different services that link in with the army - and I show my biggest respect for them as well.

If you're a regular reader - then you may remember me visiting the Tower of London last week to look at the poppies surrounding the building. That was a complete shock - each poppy represented someones life from WW1 and there was literally thousands. I think from the images it doesn't really capture how many poppies there were but then seeing it in person really got to me!

This was a pretty random pot - but if you've got this far thank you for reading. I know there a different views on Remembrance Day in the UK but like I said at the beginning I think this was the least I could do on this week. I hope you've enjoyed reading and as always...

See you in the next blog post,
