World Peace One Day, Sunflower and I Remember the Children

The Right of Peoples to Peace

Today is International Day of Peace and we have been very lucky as it has been a beautiful and peaceful day spent enjoying the last of the Summer sunshine and reading in the garden.

Our last Sunflower has had her face to the sun all day.

I took some flowers from our garden to the junction of two lanes nearby to remember six girls from the same family all killed in Gaza two months ago today as we have been asked to do today by the I Remember the Children group. Click the red link to find out more.

Peace to you all

Family Outing, Book Buying and Remembering

12 Sep

1. Walking into Granollers this morning with our beautiful new Grandbaby between us holding our hands must be one of my special joys this year.I felt so proud and just a bit tearful with happiness!

2. The bookshop was a delight as we started N’s little library of simple books in Catalan to help her as she starts learning Catalan. Her mother tongue is Wolof but she has been learning in French at school in Senegal and is beginning to speak English at home. She already understands a lot of what we say. It will be very sad to leave her tomorrow, so soon. If only the Visa had been granted as expected a month ago we would have had this whole week with her. As it is, our one day has been a beautiful day. One of the books is ‘The Three Little Pigs’ or in Catalan, ‘Els Tres Porquets’. Funnily enough, I have been finding that my French has been useful in communicating here.

3. We have placed three tributes to children killed in Gaza as part of the I Remember the Children campaign, here in Granollers. Photos to follow as per all of the last week as WordPress on iPad does not allow me to post photos.

Memorial, Scales and Dinosaurs

20 Aug

1 Today we placed flowers outside Truro Cathedral for two little girls, aged 3 and 4, killed in Gaza a month ago. Oh for peace in that region.

2 I was pleased to see that we can still buy nails by weight and not everything has to be pre-packaged. Two nails, a dozen or a hundred – no problem – just weigh them!

The enormous scales

3 In my second favourite shop (my first being any yarn/fabric emporium!) I saw these fabulous individual dinosaur cakes and knew immediately the little people for whom I want to bake them! Not surprisingly, they have sold out but my moulds are on order and as the children have now gone home that’s okay. I can bake them for their next visit.
