Catholics proudly fought with and for us as well. Perhaps they would rather Hitler took over Scotland and Ireland. They could...

    "In Flanders' fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row."

    Presume there will be 2 mins of silence on here at 11am. During break time at school which is a shame.. I'll be observing at 10.43 with the girls and again at 11.05. In pace requiescat to all those who have fallen to allow us to be free and to make the world a better place.

    White Poppies

    Wonderful piece from the Telegraph on White Poppies: At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, I am sure the thoughts of all Telegraph readers will be with those British and Commonwealth Service men and women who fell in the defence of our liberty. But spare a thought, too, for the...

    Palace Poppies

    It may surprise some, but I believe Remembrance Sunday and the wearing of poppies is an essential element in the education of children and is something we should all support. I don't get as excited as some about it, but I understand what an emotive issue it is for those who have family and...

    The Pain

    At 23 I should still be somewhere near the prime of my life. Still have all my hair, wrinkles do not concern me and a beer gut has not quite formed into its glory yet (although 7 months of travelling is helping it along its way). Friends, colleagues and people I just generally know older than me...

    Hopefully the mod's will see this, and either keep it here, or stick it at the top. The idea was something that was started on one of those social network webistes, where people sent each other poppies and hopefully it would spread and everyone would have a picture etc.. I'm hoping to pass this...
