Today is armistice day. Yesterday my daughter went up to the cenotaph in our village with her brownie unit. Its always a good turn out in our village. A tradition that i hope never dies out.
She decided to write a note to the soldiers, which is what your can see on our piano:
" we remember all the soldiers that fight in the war for our country and so please be happy for what we've got. On the 11th of the 11th please stop what you are doing for just two minutes and remember all the soldiers. Please think about them. "
I think today has made a real impact on our eldest.
The little ones tried hard to keep quiet for two minutes. They knew it was for soldiers past and present. We've decorated some paper plates to look like poppies.
They're on our newly acquired piano which none of us can play (yet) but we already love. I managed to play the last post with the bare minimum of notes.
We will remember them....in our own way.
