No matter our current circumstances or any inconvenience of being stuck in a bubble, we should remember - now more than ever - that it is an incomparable luxury compared to what our men and women suffered in wartime.
Click here to find a pdf of a poppy - by award-winning illustrator Sharon Murdoch - to print off and stick in a front window - To show that even in lockdown, in our small bubbles, we shall not forget. That we can still say thank you for the sacrifices, we can still pay tribute to the bravery of so many.
Even Jacinda was concerned at people taking disinfectant and then the warning.
Cheers all.

But I thought I would try a more deserving, personal approach first for Silk.
Silk needs a loving, patient, caring, dotting, cat orientated family To love & care for her:
That takes steps To enforce & maintain her safety & well-being at all times
* Take SIlk To Cat Protection League Feline Fix/desex, worming etc Program
* Not being exposed To busy roads
* Bringing her in at night
* Gradual Integration and inclusion into the family fold before being released & having freedom.
As you know, I managed To track Silk from 8th February 20 & catch on the 8th April. My feeding program since citing her certainly paid off; Silk adapted well, having a gentle and loving nature, playful, intelligent & communicative.
I cannot keep Silk unfortunately!!
* My old cat Rose is stressed and depressed and hides & sleeps all day, she's exhausted protecting her territory!!
Secondly : Rose has always been an indoor cat and accustomed To outside recreational caged areas
Silk is wanting more and wanting To be free!!!
Plus, having her own space!!!
Silk is such a good natured little girl, she really deserves the best where she can be her own we person and have more environmental choices!!!
PLEASE CAN YOU ADOPT SILK!!!
Only genuine people please
Thank you!!

CHAPTER III.
LANDING IN FRANCE ORGANISATION.
Throughout the day we travelled, stopping at ORANGE for lunch. Half-an-hour spell, and on again, halting near Lyons for tea, and next morning, at Marcon for breakfast. These halts were at places where all troop trains stopped, and there the L of C (Lines of Communication) had boiling water ready for the making of tea. The population on the Line of Route greeted us with enthusiasm. Shouts of " Ville Australia" were caught up along the line. Our headgear' did not appear any different to these people from our cousins over the sea ; but still some more intelligent person who had evidently met the " digger" before shouted "Vive Nouvelle-Zelande" and though our knowledge of the French language was limited, we managed' " Vive la France." The small boys amused us greatly by running alongside the train shouting "Bully beef, Biscuit, " the only two words they knew of the English language, but it was sufficient to fill their contract.
Our journey took us through Lyons, arriving south of Paris at midnight. The second night we skirted Paris via Versailles and were at EPLUCHES, EAST OF PONT OISE, for the morning meal next day ; thence to AMIENS where we heard the sound of the guns for the first time on the French front, and saw numerous French soldiers, etc. ; continuing through ABBEVILLE,
halting at ETAPL ES to drop part of our train ; thence via Boulogne, Calais and St. Omer to Hazebrouck, where we detrained at 8.0 p.m. on the 19th July. Enquiries
elicited the information that we were to go to a village
called SERCUS, but nobody seemed to know exactly where it was or how far. However, we set out, and by dint of the exercise of limited French, managed to reach our destination by midnight. Progress was very

Neither way to die is pleasant.

To help us remember those who served and understand what ‘to serve’ meant, Ryman recorded their ANZAC resident’s stories. Some are humorous, others are tragic and eye-opening, but they all offer insight into the courage, bravery, and determination required to serve.
What better way to remember than to read the memories of those who were there?
