Rememberance Day Birthday

Today is Rememberance Day, often called Poppy Day, by school children, remembering the 11th hour of the 11th Day of the 11th month of 1918, when the First World War ended. The poppy was chosen as the symbol of the Royal British Legion, who raise funds to care for those injured during war and the families of the bereaved by war. Now, Rememberance Day is used to remember all those who have been injured or who lost their lives in all wars since the First World War.

Today is also the 13th birthday of a special lady. Helena is the daughter of Hannes and Hendriette, friends of ours, so in tribute of her becoming a teenager, here are a few photos.


That gorgeous smile...

a hardworker...

the adventurer...

the comic...

a beautiful young lady.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HELENA, love from Andy and Lynda.
