Always remember

[sus1206]

J.R.R. Tolkien was in WWI as well as three of his good friends that were members of the T.C.B.S. (Tea Club Barrovian Society). Tolkien had Trench Fever and that is why he was pulled out of the Battle of the Somme, but his frineds were not so lucky. All three of them died due to war injuries or illnesses.

We obsevered the two minutes silence in our store, the whole shopping centre did but there were two women who completely ignored it, I wouldn't have minded so much if they had been from the younger generation they could have claimed ignorance but these two women were from the second world war generation and should have known better. I had to tell the to be quiet and turn off the musical toy they had styarted just as the silence began, they were not amused by my actions. It is appalling that some people can't actually stand still for two minutes!

Susan, I just love In Flander Field. One of my favorites. I hope you're feeling better and better every day. We miss you and Jessie.
