I’ve been giving a lot of thought to this, and I’ve concluded that in war there are not only no unwounded soldiers, but no unwounded nations. When I was young I was sure I knew what to do about all this. I am no longer young, and no longer sure, but wars still rage.

Phew was thinking about the trenches tonight. I headed out with Badger over the hills in pea soup fog, Down to 2 metres at times. Complete with Poppy on my running top, 1 x border collie complete with torch on his collar and a torch for myself we made our way over the newly thickly ploughed fields. Made me wonder what it must have been like in those trenches all those years ago.
Must have been a horrendous time. The odd firework didnt help tonight.
I was thinking about those brave people. Suppose thats what remembrance is all about

Yes very moving. I ran the fell race yesterday in my Poppy and have done so for years.
The poppy pictures are a nice way of remembering

That thing you did to the poppies was really effective. It showed how trauma, like a filter, changes the way people see everything, even innocent daily sights and sounds. The Youtube clip I shall not soon forget.
