Remiss of this blog to ignore Armistice Day

The piece below is from a reader and indeed it's a point worth making. 

 Thank you.

First of all, as a faithful reader of 'Occasional Scribbles' I would like to thank you for a daily insight into your interesting world! 

However, on Armistice Day, one of the great days in the European (indeed world) calendar not a mention. 

Any of us who worked in “Europe” can never forget how L’ Armistice was and is solemnly commemorated. In fact most of Europe closes schools, businesses to attend war memorials in local towns, cemeteries… 

In France La (Fete de) St Martin was and is also a big day in the church calendar…..

Far be it from me to add to your already heavy commitments, but I was really impressed by the parish newsletter in Sandymount, Star of the Sea, which carried the topic.

Again, many thanks for providing regular daily sustenance.
