My Heart Is Heavy.

Long Live The King.

 

 

 

Remember At The 11th Hour On The 11th Day of The 11th Month

 

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

  That mark our place; and in the sky

  The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

  Loved and were loved, and now we lie

      In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

  The torch; be yours to hold it high.

  If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

      In Flanders fields.

March's Other Saint

March 1st - Happy St David's Day

Saint David's Day (Welsh: Dydd Gŵyl Dewi, Welsh pronunciation: [dɨːð ɡʊɨl ˈdɛui]) is the feast day of Saint David, the patron saint of Wales, and falls on 1 March, the date of Saint David's death in 589 AD. The feast has been regularly celebrated since the canonisation of David in the 12th century (by Pope Callixtus II). 
 
Traditional festivities include wearing daffodils and leeks, recognised symbols of Wales and Saint David respectively.  

Today to celebrate my heritage - I will wear the daffodil proudly on my coat.

Sunshine & Snowmen

Today the sun shone very brightly, something we haven't seen in weeks.  I bundled up & took myself for a stroll throughout the neighbourhood.  Lots of snowmen built from the weekend's snow, which was just damp enough to make it perfect for building snowmen & throwing snowballs.  Today it is quite cold so these guys will be around for at least another week 

... a few of the gentlemen I found on my walk.

 

I am hopeful that the sunshine remains so I can re-try a couple of my WPSH photos.  I will definitely be able to get the shadow photo!

A WOW Moment To Begin September
