At eleven o’clock today, the nation will fall silent for two minutes, to honour those who fought in so many wars.
It will be at 11 on 11.11.11.
This date and time won’t happen for another hundred years. The heroes of last century’s wars will be long forgotten. I’m sad but sure there will be many more to take their place.
Laurence Binyon said it best:
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

This Is Me:
I am a little fat. I like food; what can I say? I have dull hair: mousey. I don’t wear much make-up and have no need of a dressing table. If I look like a bag lady, I chose my own clothes. If I look nice, the Hub picked them for me. Despite all this, I am a little vain. This photograph is from 2003. I had to go back that far to find one of me that I liked. But I don’t really care: my husband still thinks I’m beautiful and if he doesn’t, he loves me enough to lie about it. I’m lucky. I have two boys. They never lie to me. Still, you can't have everything.
