Today at Argument Cottage we are thinking about all of the brave men and women who gave their lives in defence of all of our liberty in WW1 and all the terrible wars and conflicts since then!
I watched the wonderful service on the BBC on Sunday and observed the 2 minutes silence, and again today, as did 'The Captain'- amazingly (our cockateil bird). It was very emotional..... especially when the buglers played their tune!
Last night Phil and I also watched a Time Team Special where archaeologists excavated the Vampyr tunnel in Pachendale. The amazing mining and survival skills of the soldiers during this terrible battle of attrition is breathtaking.

It is a timely reminder that we should never forget the sacrifices made by others.........
