Remembrance Day 2008

It is a rainy day in Victoria. But you probably guessed that since it's November. We stood at the cenotaph yesterday with the biggest crowd ever; young people now seem to be bringing their little children. When one is fretful the seniors all get concerned and considerate. Its a good sign on this day; maybe its about freedom and thankfulness?

Our friends' boy, who seems to have been a toddler last Tuesday was marching with the Scottish regiment playing the bagpipes, red faced and tallest in the regimental band. Where did the years go?
RAF Squadron Leader Jack Lane, my uncle, died this year and left us as the older generation. Where did the time go?
