Remembrance Sunday 2012

Jeff, Oli and I have just returned from the service of remembrance in Maroochydore at the war memorial next to the river. Oli was in awe of all the veterans (young and old) with their array of medals and their stories. Some of them were clearly in a mess though, bless 'em. Very moving service.  One young lad who's served 3 terms of duty in Afghanistan gave a speech and virtually broke down, remembering those mates he'd lost along the way. 
It's also the anniversary of my mum's death today.  She died 24 years ago: where did that time go? Thinking of you mum: today and always :)
