This was a little cottage down the road from our place with their flag up and ready. When mum grew up you seldom saw flags at people's homes, but it has got more and more common as the years have gone by.
Thank you to the great uncles that fought for our freedoms and the great aunts and grand parents who did their part in the communities at home.
And for something a bit cheery. The New Zealand Army Band - Signed, Sealed, Delivered.

flags at football internationals, and that's about it..Oh!

in her..HeHe!
Take care Poppy!x And look after Mum..make sure she's getting
enough sleep..as you are..! :o).
A candle lit remembrance sounds like a fine way to allow people to
ReplyDeletegive respect to your past heroes. They would be glad that you are
trying to stay safe from this virus. they would have from the
Spanish flu in 1918 if they could have.
Mum needs here sleep, so keep down the noise, Poppy!
Everyone is doing the best they can to remember the fallen this year even without the parades.
