Proud to be British

On Thursday in Lewes they had a home coming for the local troops who have been serving out in Afghanistan.

As the town clock chimed mid-day, they took their places...a lump of pride swelled in my throat.


Proud of being apart of this wonderful country....Proud to cheer our brave boys and girls back, with the hero's welcome they deserve... Proud to have had Grandparents who served to keep this world at peace....Proud to wave the mighty Union Jack...









Lest we forget....


Then coming home over the Downs, this was what awaited me......


The golden corn.... and this wonderful big sky

A flat calm blue-green sea......and Brighton just coming into view through the heat haze.... what a glorious world we live in.


Enjoy your weekend. x

Brought a lump to my throat, it makes you feel so proud at what these brave men and women do. I know people say they choose to do it but still they deserved to be treated like heros x
