“Lest we forget” – three very simple, yet also very powerful words. First used in an 1897 poem written by Rudyard Kipling called “Recessional”, to mark Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee, they caution us to be careful not to forget.
As we take a moment this Armistice Day to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our peace, prosperity and stability, and those who fight today to protect us still, let us also hope that conflicts around the world will come to a swift conclusion, not least of all in Ukraine and in Gaza
Armistice Day or Remembrance Day is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth member states since the end of the First World War to honour armed forces members who have died in the line of duty. It falls on the 11th of November every year. Remembrance Day is marked at eleven o’clock (the time that the armistice was declared) with a minute’s silence to honour the fallen. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919, the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries.

It's "Forget About It" Friday...
If you thought you were sitting here, then forget about it!!
Couch is fully occupied by Timber and Shadow...lol
The common name, Forget Me Not, comes from a German legend about a knight who died trying to get the flowers for his lover and called out with his last breath, “Forget me not!”. The Greek name, Myosotis, means mouse's ear because the oval, furry leaves resemble a mouse's ear.
Sometimes you will do anything to forget. Forget the past, forget everything just to having nothing on your mind.

Some years the garden is a cloud of blue smoke- when these are as prolific as they can sometimes be! This year, there are just small drifts!
When you need to leave the world behind, Forget-Me-Not Ponds is the place to go. An early morning campfire was a great way to unwind and destress.

Just some forget me nots, growing like weeds in my garden ... but I still love them :)
The only thing I've added here is a single, pressed, forget-me-not flower. Yes, I confess, this is another recent addition to my collection of miniatures. I just don't seem to be able to resist pastels these days. :)
