do you lads and lasses across the pond have a remembrance day ? i'm sure you do. I was at the supermarket...grocery store...this morning and was so pleased to see 3 out of 4 people wearing a poppy. its a silent respectful thing, seeing poppies worn by children and placed on baby buggies warmed me.....we have a friend who is belurussian and lives in Mogilev close to the ukranian border where the 1986 Chernobyl disaster happened...she brings children here to give them relief from the radioactive climate they must endure..anyway I digress....what I meant to say was that when she came to stay with us this time last year she was totally puzzled re the poppies and remembrance programmes on tv.
