'When all is lost, your face I see ...

... Do you, still then, remember me?'

Remember Me by helloliriels (GIF art made to accompany ficlet)

Based on this actual knitted soldier found in UK for Remembrance Day, Syston, Liecestershire. (I've moved it to London .... shhhh!)

Uncle Rudy w/Baby Sherlock, Mummy Holmes with Kindergarten Lock, Teenlock w/Mycroft, Sherlock alone, The Soldier (John) carrying Sherlock home to 221b. (wanted to do a few more of the in-between years, but stuck with just adding Uncle Rudy, like it had been their routine for years)

“When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow we have given our today.”

Okay but this is actually hillarious. Right wing thugs fighting with the police on remembrance Sunday because the police have surrounded the cenotaph on Suella Braverman's orders because she was "concerned" about the pro Palestine march.

Fascists fighting fascists.

Adventures in Librarian-ing

I was reading from the picture book Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World's Most Famous Bear by Lindsay Mattick to classes for Remembrance Day back at the beginning of November.

As we got to the end, one student would always ask if Winnie was still alive, to which I would gently remind them that Winnie lived a hundred years ago, so she had died quite a while back.

When they'd look sad I'd add "But she died old, fat, and very happy and pampered, so she lived a good life."

And all the kids would start laughing.

A reminder that war is pointless, and the silence and birdsong is all that the forests should hear. Not gunshots and bombs.

R.I.P to those poor souls in WW1 who lost their lives. They shall always be remembered. ❤️
