This is each year, before the St. John's Church in Blackheath, London. Remembering all those who fall while serving their country.
A minute of silence, poppies on the dress, veterans gathering and speaking.
My grandfather was a veteran of World War 1 and wounded for all his life. Alas, it made him also very irritable for his family.
He did like me. I remember, when he came to see me and told me "Ask any question and I will try to answer. If I can not, I will look in the books to find it for you."
There was no web yet, more then 70 years ago. But I learned to ask and I learned that one can find answers in books.
Today, I think of him. Grandpa Emil.
Arrived from Paris at age 73, I love London diversity, warmth and opportunities, soon 80.

hospital entrance, another fall
If I remember it well, I was there last autumn too, and with bigger surgery, so relative this year was not so bad.
If I was apprehensive in fact was remembering the other times.

Margo, gone
Margo, gone, a set on Flickr.
My neighbour remains only in our memory, still difficult to understand that she will not come and will not see and speak with her again.
