Remembrance Sunday
Today is our remembrance Sunday and I thought that instead of publishing the usual positive thinking articles I must take the time to remember those people who put their lives on the line to protect us all at home. I can never express my thanks throughout the century for all the men and women who have paid the ultimate price for freedom.

More soldiers, more grief

Will we ever find a way to live together?
Each day I watch the news, today I see the US have now lost 3,706 soldiers in Iraq, the figures in Afghanistan are rising, when will it ever end? I think the world needs my mum – she would be great at sitting down all the leaders, banging her fists on the table, telling them what idiots they are and that she had, had enough! Stop these stupid wars or face the consequences…..none would mess with her, trust me!
