Come along to a great Aussie Barbie to meet some great new bloggers!

A Momma's View

You know what? I think it’s time to mingle again. How about we get together and party a little bit? Come over and meet some other bloggers, maybe bring a friend as well? I love meeting new people, so share the news.

It’s easy:

Leave the link to your blog in the comment, maybe with a short description of what your blog is all about. You can link to your About page or to your home page or to a post you particularly like.
Share one or more links to blogs you enjoy reading as well and maybe let them know that you did and invite them to come over and join in.
The more the merrier. So how about you share this post on your blog as well?
It’s all about being polite here as well, so go ahead, shake some hands and check out the links that have…

Armistice Day

It is a day to remember all those fallen heroes, those who have given their lives to protect their countries in the various wars over the years. Today, we are taught to hold a two minute silence at 11am, to remember those souls.

It upset me this morning to hear on the news that 40% of 18-25 year olds don’t even know what Armistice Day is in the UK, and that 38% of the community won’t even think about that 2 minutes of thought, contemplation and remembrance…

I may not be English, but I an British, born and brought up here. Not only do I live here, and so benefit from all the greatness we live in here, because of those fallen heroes, but also many of my own, the Sikh regiments, gave their lives in the wars to protect Britain.

I tell my kids with pride all about these days. We are wearing our poppies together.

And at school, the 2 minute silence will be observed. We shall attempt to be quiet in nursery, but I’m not sure how much non English speaking 3-4 year olds will comprehend!

“Lest we forget”…

I went for a haircut the other week… my longer curls have made way for much less hair!

Here is the blowdried, ‘like you just stepped out of a salon’ look… because I had just stepped out of one!

And another shot!

Hubby hates it when I get my hair cut… he loves long hair. I do too, but I find after a couple of years, I just need a change, so I get a large amount chopped off. He also is not a fan of the straight haired Ritu either! But I have to get the whole salon effect.. after all I can’t be bothered to spend time doing it myself, straightening my hair every day.. no no! I have far too much other stuff going on!
