Let's Make A Change - Charity Telethons - Children In Need 2015

Hi!!!

Aloha, my lovely readers. Children in Need has once again rolled around and now, sat here, armed with my pizza, I'm going to have a little chat with you about it.

Children in Need is a charity telethon that the BBC host for us UK people each year and is an incredibly heart-warming evening for a whole host of very worthwhile causes which support the young people in the UK who need it the most.

 

I shan't ramble on but I do want to say that we all have the power to help and make a positive change. There is always someone out there in need of a helping hand. There is always someone out there who needs support and guidance. Everyone deserves the best life possible for them and you can help by donating to Children in Need tonight. If you are in a position to, then please do give what you can.

Find Children in Need (HERE)

 

Thank you for reading. I hope that you have a lovely weekend if I don't get chance to speak to you all before its over.

What are you most looking forward to about Children in Need tonight? Have you done any interesting fundraising? Any comments or suggestions for future posts? Let me know in the comments.

Adios, beautiful people.

 

Have a totally spectacular day!

Lest We Forget - Armistice Day 2015

Hi!!!

How are you all today? How has your week been so far? Since today is Armistice Day, I thought I'd put together a little post for you all to read.

On the 11th of November 1918, the First World War ended officially and with that came the end of years of conflict and casualties and deaths. Since that time, on the original Armistice Day, many other conflicts have taken place and they are all the reason (from the First World War to more recent conflicts) that we should participate in the two minute silence at 11am today - to commemorate the ending of conflicts, to remember the service men and women who died for their country or who were injured fighting for their country, who had to put their lives on hold to go and fight for their country, those who struggled to adjust to life after conflicts and of course the families and friends who were affected by war, too.

 

Thank you for reading, I will speak to you guys later in the week.

What do Remembrance celebrations mean to you? Do you have any comments or suggestions for future posts? Let me know in the comments below.

See you soon!

 

Have a wonderful day!

We Will Remember Them... - Remembrance Sunday 2015.

Hi!!!

While this post is quite serious one, it is also an important one. If you've been around for a while, you'll know how important I think Remembrance Celebrations are, and so I have written this.

Today is Remembrance Sunday (as I'm sure you know if you are in the UK). Today is a day for remembering the brave service men and women across the globe who have sacrificed their lives for their country in various conflicts all the way from the First World War right up to more recent conflicts. It is also a time to spare a thought for those still out there fighting, to think about the service men and women who have survived war and to think about the families who have supported and are supporting the service-people they care about as well as the families who haven't been so lucky as to see their loved ones return home.

We wear poppies every year throughout the months of October and November as a sign that the armed forces and their families are thought of and remembered by us as a nation, as individuals and as communities. By buying Poppies, you can donate to Royal British Legion so that they can continue their work to support service men and women and their families and friends during and after conflicts, no matter what happens to them. I will always wear a poppy with pride.

 I hope that today you are respectful and take part in the two minute silence at 11 o'clock, and make those two minutes count in whatever way it is you see fit (be it silent prayer or reflection or thought).

And so, to Service Men and Women everywhere in the world, alive or passed, who fought a century ago or this year, I salute you. We will never forget.

Find the Royal British Legion and the Poppy Appeal (HERE)

I'm going to write some more about Rememberance on Wednesday - and will be urging you to take part in the second two minute silence. Do check back then to see that, if you'd like to.

Do you have a poppy or maybe a pinbadge or wristband to wear? What does Rememberance Sunday mean to you? Do you have any stories you would like to share about this topic? Do have any comments or suggestions for future posts? Why not let me know in the comments below? Lets all be respectful there, please...
Thank you for reading, see you guys later.

Have a lovely day.

The Night of The Sparkler - Bonfire Night 2015

Hi!!!

Today is the 5th of November which is Bonfire Night, as you may or may not know depending on where you are in the world. If you aren't quite sure what it is for whatever reason then do feel free to click the link to find out more (HERE).

Bonfire Night is one of my most favourite times of year - I love fireworks  (I mean *really* love fireworks) and bonfires and toffee apples and candyfloss and all of the other fun stuff that comes along with the celebration.
I know I've said this before, but to me, Bonfire Night is like the send off to all things Autumnal and the start of Christmas and Winter which makes it all the more fun and exciting.

 We go to an arranged display every year and this year is no exception. The display is on Saturday so I'm going to have to wait just a little bit longer for my Bonfire Night celebrations - I've been looking forward to it all week!

 

I hope that you enjoy your Bonfire Night this year whatever it is that you are doing - have fun and stay safe, everyone!

 

Thank you for reading, I hope you've enjoyed this post. I'll see you soon.
What is your favourite thing about Bonfire Night? Are you having fireworks at home or going to a display this year? Do you have any comments or suggestions for future posts? Be sure to tell me in the comments below.
Happy Bonfire Night!

I hope you have the most glittery and sparkly Bonfire Night ever!
