Everyone notes the same about ANZAC day.
I have listened to the Dawn service already; and there are a myriad of cars outside my window...even parked in our driveway!! attending the Blackwood wreath laying.
It is interesting to note the ebb and flow. Growing up in the shadow of the War it loomed large in people's minds, but the economic rationalists put it behind them.
Now we are facing a resurgence. It says a lot about people's state of mind I suspect. We are once again putting aside our carefree hearts and picking up the mantle of sombre reflection of life.
AAAAhhh enough of that.......
It is interesting to note (here) that when you Google 'Flanders' in the images you get more pictures of Ned Flanders from The Simpsons than you do of Flanders Field.
