Remembrance

Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day Or Armistice Day) is a memorial day observed in the Commonwealth countries since the end of World War I to remember and pay respects to the many members of their armed forces who had died in the line of duty. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the official end of the World War I on that date in 1918, hostilities officially ended at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. 

The red remembrance poppy has become a tradition of Remembrance Day due to the poem 'In Flanders Fields'. These poppies grew across some of the worst battlefields of Flanders in the war, their red color an appropriate symbol for the blood spilled in the war.

Hi Guys,

Are you well? Did you have a good bonfire night? I hope so mine was a bit lame, I didn’t go to any displays or anything which is a real shame as I really like fireworks. Something about the colours and the loud sounds just feels like magic to me. I didn’t go because I felt silly and childish asking me friends to come with me, thinking about it now I shouldn’t felt that way and my friends probably would have come. But I remember going every year when I was younger I guess I was just feeling old. Also I got it into my head fireworks were for couples, which I guess is kind of true it is kind of romantic. Oh well... I stayed at home nursing a really frightened Kyzer  - bless him, he gets so scared. 

I used to love these as a kid :)
