Week 45 2013

Hello,

The remembrance poppy has been used since 1920 to commemorate soldiers who have died in war. Inspired by the World War I poem "In Flanders Fields", they were first used by the American Legion to commemorate American soldiers who died in that war (1914–1918). They were then adopted by military veterans' groups in some Commonwealth states: the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Today, they are mainly used in the UK and Canada to commemorate their servicemen and -women who have been killed since 1914. Small artificial poppies are often worn on clothing on Remembrance Day/Armistice Day (11 November) and in the weeks before it. Poppy wreaths are also often laid at war memorials.

11 November is also a jour ferie in France when there are often memorial services at 11h at the town and village war monuments.

There will be volunteers selling poppies on Thursday 7 November at the Grand Pineuilh Leclerc if you want to be able to wear your poppy with pride and remember those who have died in service for their country.

Have a good week,

Best wishes,

Helen

Week 45 2013

Monday 4 November

Wednesday 6 November

6th Nov at 20h30 : The Way is showing in VO at la Breche cinema in Ste Foy

Martin Sheen plays Tom, an American doctor who comes to France to collect the remains of his adult son, killed in the Pyrenees in a storm while walking The Camino de Santiago, also known as 'The Way of Saint James'.
Driven by his profound sadness and desire to understand his lost son, Tom decides to embark on the historical pilgrimage, leaving his California life behind.
Armed only with his son's backpack and guidebook, he begins the 800km historical pilgrimage but soon discovers that he won't be alone on this journey - he meets other pilgrims from around the world, all broken and looking for greater meaning in their lives.
From the hardship experienced along "The Way" an unlikely group of misfits are bonded and Tom begins to learn the difference between "The life we live and the life we choose."
The Way was filmed entirely in Spain and France along the actual Camino de Santiago
