Lest We Forget

Remembrance Sunday...a time when folks all over the world come together to honour our fallen heroes...to reflect on the ultimate sacrifice made by countless brave men and women in wars past and present in the name of freedom and peace...apologies for sharing this card from last year...but I do love these gorgeous poppies from Hero Arts...

"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."
The poppy became the symbol of remembrance as it was the only living thing that survived the bloody battles of Flanders during the First World War but once again the politically correct brigade have to stick their noses in and try to ban people from wearing poppies whether it be at work or indeed at national sporting events because some people could see it a political symbol...what utter tosh...the poppy is a symbol of remembrance and respect and three cheers for Prince William for showing true British spirit and standing up for what is essentially the right of each and every one of us...the freedom to choose.
Catch up with you all tomorrow for some demo and workshop pics from Saturday....I'm off to spend a chill out day with the grandkiddies.
Hugs Kath xxx
