Armistice Day

[Old Cruser]

Yes we have a nurse in Tupton also poppies scattered in the Church Garden.
Across the road in the school there are poppies plus a Soldier Saluting.
We have a Lest We Forget  Flag Flying at the top of Green lane in the Community Garden.

There have been some truly wonderful displays and Tributes around the UK this year.

Very poignant Fly, hope your wife is well.

The biopsy results of the tumour weren't good. She starts chemo and radiotherapy on the 21st Nov.

I've re-posted this picture from another thread that i've removed. It seems more fitting here.

Over 400 miners lost their lives during the war years doing their bit for the country.

Sending you both our love and best wishes - and don't tell me off

So many that we do not realise lost lives

I still 'lurk around' and am so sorry to read this.
Please wish her my very best and may it be of comfort to you both that I was diagnosed with prostate cancer just over two years ago. I opted for the radical prostatectomy surgery option and, although there were fears it had spread, it has proved not to be the case. I am now on six monthly revues and - so far, so good.

All the best to you both x

Hiya Alsatian, good to see your post and that your are well.
My brother and also a very close friend of ours has the same condition as you. I'm pleased to say they are also doing very well.
Take Care x

Sorry it is a bit blurred I struggled to take the photo because of the high metal railings.

Thank you, without wishing to hijack this thread (oops, I already have!) I originally stopped posting due to the constant sniping and petty comments from a certain quarter but, as that party appears to have gone, I've been considering coming back into the fold as there is harmony once more.

The Lest we forget flag

In the community garden in Tupton village.

I have to say there has been some truly wonderful displays in the UK this year and I hope it has generated much more interest in Armistice Day.

I watched the festival of remembrance on BBC last night and it was certainly a moving and emotional programme.

Not had problems for a long time Alsatian. The trouble makers are gone and just us few who get along like adults and can agree to disagree on things sometimes - how it should be!!

Things happened back then. People moved on.
This(my), and the ChesterfieldForum, considered combining but Sap1ent just closed his instead.
We are small in numbers now but trying to accommodate posters from either.
Not everybody uses facebook but might still want a local chat place
I'll keep it going as long as I can :-)
