War... Such a horrible thing! And yet, there are still people out there that seem to be driving to it.. Let's hope that by remembering lost lives we will avoid more of such loss..
Just remembering our sunny weather in early Spring as it has changed drastically again since the day before yesterday... It's always good to have photos to remember lightful and sunny days when there is just grey sky and everything looks just sad and .... oh my! I can fully understand all of you who still have heavy snow and ice... I know we still have Winter too. It's not the Winter that makes me sad but it's the grey sky and dark days... as everything then also looks so dark.
I need light! And you?
Have a great weekend everybody!
For many people it's the High Season of Carnival ;-)) - Wish everybody a lovely and joyful weekend and the days to come! Enjoy and behold these joyful moments!
National Memorial Arboretum . So disappointed, when I visited for Remembrance Sunday, November, last year, there was a lot of construction work spoiling photos, thought my visit today would be better, but no they still still have barriers , cement mixer, and the floor of the memorial is still not finished . The plant collectors fair was good though
Mum died 20 years ago on Saturday and so I took flowers to where her ashes are scattered. It is a woodland site which is divided into woodland glades. I think it is one of the most uplifting places to go and remember. There is an abundance of wild flowers, bushes, birds and red squirrels.
I’ll disappear in the fog as a foreigner to all life, as a human island detached from the dream of the sea, as a uselessly existing ship that floats on the surface of everything.
Remembering Benjamin Zephaniah who transitioned one year ago today 7 December 2023.
Poet, writer and activist born in 1958. Saturday 12th April 2025, will be known as Benjamin Zephaniah Day. Led by Qian Zephaniah, Benjamin's wife, the gathering falls on the beloved poet, writer, actor and activist's birthday weekend. Treasured as ‘the people’s laureate,’ the pioneering dub poet used his work to fight injustice, and blazed brightly in post as Professor of Creative Writing at Brunel.
Still gutted this legend has passed yet his presence endures.
Rest peacefully. 15.04.58 - 07.12.23
When someone walks out on you, let them go.Remember, you got their attention the first time you've met. Don't go after them, they will find their way back to you once they have realized your worth. If not, then someone out there is better than them to recieve your attention..

The Fifth of November
Remember, remember!
The fifth of November,
The Gunpowder treason and plot;
I know of no reason
Why the Gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!
Guy Fawkes and his companions
Did the scheme contrive,
To blow the King and Parliament
All up alive.
Threescore barrels, laid below,
To prove old England's overthrow.
But, by God's providence, him they catch,
With a dark lantern, lighting a match!
A stick and a stake
For King James's sake!
If you won't give me one,
I'll take two,
The better for me,
And the worse for you.
A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope,
A penn'orth of cheese to choke him,
A pint of beer to wash it down,
And a jolly good fire to burn him.
Holloa, boys! holloa, boys! make the bells ring!
Holloa, boys! holloa boys! God save the King!
Hip, hip, hooor-r-r-ray!
Remember the little tiny kitten my sister rescued?
This is him a month later.
He's changed just a bit.
For one, he lost his baby blues...but, oh that sweet adorable face and whiskas!!!
Too cute to resist!!! I want him.
Seriously, I have tried sneaking him out the door!!
Fourteen years ago today, two planes slammed into the World Trade Center in a deliberate terrorist attack. Today, we member the lives that were lost.
Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost.....

You'll know...

On the eve of Remembrance Day, I'm thinking of my grandfather, Albertus. This is the last picture taken of him in Indonesia on April, 1940. He was at a train station leaving to prepare for the Japanese invasion that followed a few months later. He is the second person from right in the cap. After the allied defeat and enduring many hardships in POW camps, he was killed during the sinking of the Junyo Maru on September 18th 1944. It was packed with 1,377 Dutch, 64 British and Australian, and 8 U.S. prisoners of war along with 4,200 Javanese slave labourers bound for work on the railway line being built between Pakan Baru and Muaro in Sumatra. The cargo ship was torpedoed by the British submarine, HMS Tradewind and was the world's greatest sea disaster at the time, with 5,620 dead. 680 men were rescued but he was not among them.
The original photo is quite small and was reproduced here by taking a picture of it with my iPhone.
I'm joining my friends, Rich and Trev, in remembering our friend Connie Harris (Land of Dolls) who passed away on Wednesday after being ill for a very long time.
Connie loved her dolls and created a town, Laurenland, both online and with dioramas and houses. She sent dolls to her friends who were "residents" of the town. This pic was taken for Christmas 2016. Connie had sent me the Sam and Dean Winchester dolls because we shared a love of the show Supernatural, along with a mini Connie doll. Sam and Dean were residents of Laurenland because Connie felt the town needed demon hunters, lol. My mini-me, Dollie, was also a demon hunter and had the good fortune to be Dean's girlfriend : )
In this pic, Dean and Dollie (Dollie is not pictured) attended what they thought was an ugly sweater party, but they were the only ones who wore them. That's Connie's mini-me on Sam's lap, because she loved Sammy!
Connie will be remembered for her fun personality and generosity.
I was in Memphis for my grandson's Christmas program at his dayschool last night. After today's tragedy in Connecticut I couldn't post any photos I took last night. I remembered this photo of my mother and us at the age of those young angels this morning. It's all I can post today.
Hug your family ..your mom, dad , uncles, aunts , brothers and sisters while you still can.
...the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot
I see no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot
Ok so these were taken on the 3rd of November. But for anyone who doesn't know the 5th of November is when we in the UK remember Guy Fawkes' failed attempt to blow up parliament. It also tends to coincide more or less with Diwali the Indian festival of light. Happy Diwali to those celebrating.
It means that at this time of year people like to try to blow themselves to bits letting fireworks off in their gardens.
Alternatively we go to safer organised displays like I did in Southend last night. They let the fireworks off on a barge in the Thames Estuary and it's free to attend. They do it every weekend through October and early November to bring more trade to the seafront on cold, dark autumn/winter Saturday nights.

Around the church yard of St James the Great church, Paulerspury, Northamptonshire.
A moment of quiet contemplation for a mum and her daughter remembering a loved one on his memorial bench in a peaceful part of the church yard.
[ * EXPLORED* 330]
Trying to find something to cheer me up and pulled this one from the archives. I vaguely remember sunsets like this but its a real struggle at the moment. This one was taken last year in August time at Herne Bay.
Fingers crossed the weather takes a different turn and we all start enjoying some of these again!!
In 2011, I traveled considerably more, and longer, yet I ended up visiting countries I had previously visited, save for only one country (Antigua) I visited for the first time.
2012 was different. Even though I spent less time traveling, I visited 6 countries for the first time (Philippines, Brunei, Palau, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Bhutan), as well as some repeat visits to India, Malaysia, Thailand etc. The next few days I will be uploading photos from those countries. Fourth stop: Kyrgyzstan.
Yurts at Tash Rabat early in the morning.
This is my Dad, Leo. He was 98 years young on Tuesday last.
Leo enlisted in 1939, served in France and exited unceremoniously if not famously from there and went on to North Africa. I have one of his photos from that time of a group of young men of which my dad commented to his wife that only five of them were 'left'. We were the lucky ones.
In Remembrances of many but in particular my Grand father who was killed in France in 1916.
