Have you ever heard of a Doubly Thankful Village?

Have you ever heard of a Doubly Thankful Village?

These were communities throughout England and Wales where everyone who served in the military returned from both World War I and World War II. There are only 14 in total, and Upper Slaughter on the Cotswolds is one of them.

Having grown up in Canada, I can recall hearing Jo

Having grown up in Canada, I can recall hearing John McCrae’s poem, ‘In Flanders Fields’ recited yearly at Remembrance Day school assemblies.

The elementary school gym, dimly lit to encourage an ambience of solemnity, was decorated with each classroom’s collection of paper plate wreaths and cardboard crosses, sticky with Elmer’s white glue and crinkly red tissue paper poppies.

A live performance of ‘The Last Post’ echoed through the vast room while a lineup of decked out and decorated, worn and wrinkled veterans peered out at throngs of squirming kids trying to sit still and cross-legged on the polished gymnasium floor.

I didn’t know it then, but that yearly rhythm would forever ensure I took time as an adult to mark the remembrance of those who served and sacrificed for my freedoms.

Until very recently, I had never seen red poppies. It was in the English countryside where I first encountered small clusters of the delicate blood-red variety. I was fascinated by seeing the real thing for the first time in my life. When I finally had the chance to witness a full-fledged field of red poppies, McCrae’s iconic poem sprang to mind. One day I hope to make it to Flanders with my kids where we’ll stand and recite ‘In Flanders Fields’ and gaze out upon an endless sea of bright red poppies.

In the meantime, I wear a poppy on my lapel every November, like so many others across the Commonwealth, and like many used to do here in the United States, as a reminder to remember. Lest we forget.

I love having the peace of mind that comes from knowing I can track my bags and keys with Apple Tags. Here’s why they’re a travel must-have for me:

• An easy way to track bags - not just on flights. I appreciate knowing where my camera bag or purse is while traveling.
• The cost is far cheaper than the cost and hassle of lost luggage.
• I can use my phone to locate the air tag with sound and directions when in range.
• The batteries last well over a year.
• The slip into little holders that attach easily to key rings etc.

While I’m not super big into wearable tech and am wary about how so much tech affects our health, I’m more than happy to use Apple Air Tags for travel. It means I actually get to slow down and let go of one more thing to worry about!
