ANZAC DAY

It is Anzac day here in Australia. A day for Australians and New Zealanders to remember and commemorate those who died at Gallipoli, in World War 1, and all the fathers, husbands and sons who have died in service.

At dawn there are services around the country. The Last Post is played and this verse is recited.

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.
(by Laurence Binyon)

In homes, mothers make Anzac biscuits in remembrance- these biscuits were made by the mothers and wives of the World War 1 diggers and sent to them on the battlefields.

Here is my batch!:)


In other news, today is our 13th straight day of rain! it is exceedingly soggy here.

Those ANZAC biscuits look delish. And their little flags are just too cute! Good work mum! xo
