more rain today so good chance to sit back & catch up with online groups...

I have to say I am disappointed by the NZ lack of recognition for Remembrance Day!
I can recall school assemblies where we held a minutes silence.
It isn't done anymore.
A few places & some broadcasters follow the tradition, I wore my poppy badge but seemed to be the only one with a poppy.
When I commented I was told that we (NZ) only wear our poppies on ANZAC Day.
Someone said the Aussies don't wear poppies on ANZAC Day but keep with the 11/11 tradition?
I did see a broadcast from an Oz channel & the news readers were wearing poppies...
our weren't & I think it is a bit off.
