Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Robert Laurence Binyon

    “Their name liveth for evermore”.

    Oh I visited Wellington in New Zealand early this year.
    This is the original “Wellington” that inspired the Kiwi one?
    But I think the Kiwi town was named after the first Duke of Wellington?

    Have you been to Aspley House (Wellington’s house) in London?
    It’s worth a visit. Been there many times cos it’s free with my Art Pass :)

    True, but at a terrible cost. They died at 18 or 22 or whatever, with no spouse, no children and no house of their own. What a terrible loss of a life :(
