This is becoming interesting. I feel I do have to write both in Dutch and in English! Sometimes I start in English, like this evening and I made a mistake and whoops .. blog was gone. So I started again, in Dutch. I can only say that my English is improving, good for the old brain mass to be stretched. Today I wrote about Dutch Remembrance day. I remember being in the U.K a year and a half ago. So many people were walking with a special pin (don't know the right English word, someone please help me out!) in honour of Remembrance day over there. We don't see that in Holland anymore. I remember when I was a child, people were wearing orange coloured ribbons. Not done anymore! As always it was rather emotional. On television I saw the memorial service where the queen is present and the mayor of Amsterdam holds a speech. This year the emphasis was on togetherness, something a lot of people tend to forget. It reminded me of the 2nd Principle of Spiritualism - the Brotherhood of man. I think it is good to remember, at least once a year, where we have come, how other generations and still today, many people out there are fighting for our human right to be free. Freedom of speech, religion, thought is a privilege and let's please help each other to remember that. Of course I have found some music to accompany this blog. Hope you enjoy it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3uPuiQOn9w
