We shall remember them.

Today I attended a very sad and moving rememberance service in my local village where we gathered to remember the fallen ones of war. Nothing brought a lump to my throat so much than the fact there was a united approach to this day, with nearly everyone present and willing to stand in the freezing cold and listen as the names of the dead were announced. I hope everyone joined in today by either attending a service or watching it on the tv, because this day is still an important part of our lives - we wouldn't be where we are now if it wasn't for those men who gave up their lives so freely for our country. Although this has nothing to do with recipes or food I would still like to take the opportunity to praise those brave and courageous soldiers, and as we will never know what it was like to be there fighting, all we can do is imagine and be thankful for the amazing sacrifice they gave.
