Poppies blowing | An Armistice Day Nordic Walk
What a unique day, 11/11/11 - We remember those from WW1 and WW2 soldiers who gave their lives without regrets. To remember their bravery and heroism we gave them a special remembrance before our British Nordic Walk began. The theme of our Nordic Walk was poppies blowing in the wind.This was quite appropriate due to the fact a keen wind was blowing the poppies we had so carefully pinned to our coats, kagouls and Jims hat. There we were on Friday the 11 November 2011 poised with emotions full of sadness and feelings for the loss of those oh so very brave soldiers who went before us to keep our green and pleasant land safe.
Usually we begin the Nordic walk with something to warm up the group, today was no exception. Behind a sheltered wall we stood while I recited the beautiful, sorrowful, mournful verses of " In Flanders Fields " By the famous war poet, John McCrae, May 1915. This was followed by 2 minutes of silence of respect and remembrance for those brave soldiers before we began our regular Nordic Walk.
All too soon, we were warming up ready for our Nordic Walk, our pace was purposeful and fairly brisk due to the keen winds. We stopped to pause a little, catch our breath, we chatted to a man and his dog who was keen to join our Nordic Walking club in the future.
We were happy to be alive and enjoyed our Nordic walk despite a strong chill from a stiff breeze that would have been seen our "poppies" blowing in the wind this Remembrance day.
