Super event Angela, you are obviously totally accepted in the Maori culture, a credit to you. I wish all cultures could accept each other, the world would be a wonderful place if that happened.

Thanks UNCLE ANDY : Well every SILVER LINING has a CLOUD and BRIAN tells Me they need the Rain in Essex ! Pleased you enjoyed the Presentation : I guess the RAIN is to welcome the CRICKET Season ! I enjoy the CRICKET when BRIAN takes me and the KIWIS play it with great enthusism : but I will never UNDERSTAND it and its strange Language about Silly Mid Offs and the Poor Maidens being Bowled over etc etc !

Blessings & Love to YOU & JOYCE

Hola BRIAN : A Me gusta tu POEMA de VERANO ! Si es INVIERNO aqui pero nos TEMPERATURAS son mismos 15C (59F) ! MAMA & PAPA love Auckland and the Vinyards and the WINE. The MOARIS gave us a lovely Reception Tonight (its now 11:15pm) and My Parents were amazed when I sang & danced with the Maori Choir & Dance Group ! I also danced & sang with the local Amateur Flamenco Group which pleased PAPA. Love the structure of the Poem : I still find Rhyming Acrostics difficult !

MUCHOS Abrazo y Besos y Todo de Mi Amor

I saw some of the celebrations yesterday and the most moving thing I head was that in one of the French towns where many had died they had hung four national flags
British, American, French and German - a wonderful gesture of peace in OUR time.

Thanks for your comment UNCLE STEVE ! It was 40 years before I was born ~ BUT ~ I am a student of the World in the 20th Century ! A very interesting period in History ! My experience of LOVE & LIFE is all in the 21st C I was only 16 when the New Millenium was ushered in ! It is very true what you say ~ so many SACRED COWS have been slaughtered on the ALTAR of 21st C Inclusivism. The key Lesson of D-DAY was that 30 Independent Nations were involved to anihilate the Third Reich becaus they ALL recognized how EVIL it was ! I doubt if that would happen today ? Ive been to AUSWITZCH and it was a real EYEOPENER ! I regret BREXIT because in a sense the EU diluted Nationalism and prevented WW3. Trump worries me he is very NATIONALISTIC and UNDEMOCRATIC and he holds a lot of CARDS ! With him His God is the DOLLAR and he wants (GOD FORBID) the US Pharmaceuticals to get a slice of the NHS which would bankcrupt it in a YEAR etc etc !

BLESSINGS & PEACE to YOU and YOURS
Yours as ever ANGELA & BRIAN 🧡🧡🧡🧡

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

Thanks again for your comments *OUT* *D* did indeed stand for Death and BECAUSE of D-DAY 22,000 People (Military & Civilians) DIED. But it was not too big a PRICE to Pay to begin the invasion of occupied FRANCE the Destruction of the Third Reich and the END of WW2 in May 1945 ! The DEATH TOLL for WW2 was 20 millon including 6 million Jews who were Gassed & Incinerated MEN ~ WOMEN ~ CHILDREN ~ just for BEING JEWISH ! The THIRD REICH was completely IMMORAL and the MODERATE (not perfect by any means !) ALLIES had no choice but to ELIMINATE them in WW2 (!939 ~ 45). D-DAY was the Turning Point and 11 months later HITLER was DEAD and the Third Reich demoralised & destroyed !

This is why I and MILLIONS of others
MUST REMEMBER THEM ~ FOREVER
Yours BRIAN & ANGELA 🧡🧡

This is in memory to our troops who stormed the beaches of Normandy, and those final WWII vets who are still alive today. This is a great piece.

BUENAS TARDES CARA MIA ANGELA ! Gracias por tu commento gracioso ! I have an Evening Class tonight (Applied Maths !) so i am still in the Flat watching todays TV Coverage of the 75th D-day memorial Celebrations in Normandy ~very moving ! The Youngest Veteran is 91 so by the 80th Anniversary (2024) most of them will have been called *Home to Glory* and all of them by the Centenary (2044) ! This is one of many reasons why this 75th Anniversary is so so important. Give MAMA & PAPA my love ~ Im pleased Your Winter Weather is as good as Our Summer Weather ! Dont drink all the RIOJA ~ save some for My visit in OCTOBER !

BUANSA DIAS OSO GRANDE : GRACIAS por esta POEMA como una Celebracion de D-DAY 6 Junio 1944 : muy buen ! Its 8:30pm here and I have enjoyed another excellent Day here with MAMA & PAPA. The MAORI Reception is now Scheduled for FRIDAY and my Parents are very very impressed with their GRACIOUSNESS & POLITENESS ! SPAIN of course were NEUTRAL in WW2 under Franco who was an Ally of the Reich so PAPAs Ancestors did not suffer as yours did in Liverpool in the War. Troops for NZ were heavily involved in WW2 from the outset : and there has been much coverage on TV of the 75th Anniversary of D-DAY. Everyone has remarked how COOL & RELAXED : THERESA MAY has been : God Bless Her ! Thanks for SKYPING ME this EVENING !

HOLA ANGELA ~ LA MIA AMORATA PRECIOSA ! A me gusta que Tu MAMA y PAPA son con Tu ! Wish I was there as well ! You seem to be having a great time visiting Vineyards and promoting your PAPAs beloved RIOJA. My fave Wine with LAMB but dont tell the KIWIS ! Love to MAMA & PAPA ! Im lookin forward to seeing You in October when it will be SPRING again one of AUCKLANDS best seasons so I will stay for a week and just enjoy being with you again ! Work is busy with lots of Project to mark and Exams. Finance is tight but we are coping and are able to manage and keep a full Staff complement ~ Im having to tach some Applied Maths to the Engineers ~ at least it does not entail Practical Work in Laboratories ! Today has all been about D-DAY ~ Yesterday was all about TRUMP ! The PLANES with the Paratroopers on their way to FRANCE flew over Essex an awesome site ! Im posting a POEM on D-DAY tomorow so leave the space clear !

ANGELA & BRIAN said:

THANKS FAY : My Parents are the best in the WORLD and BRIAN thinks His are and I guess you did too ! Both my Parents lead very busy lives but I am so so glad they have been able to visit me here ! My PAPA always has a very full Diary of Shows & Promotions in the UK & Europe and he likes to visit the RIOJA Region to check on his interests ! My MAMA now acts as His Secretary and she keeps his Dairy and our Home Phone number receives all the enquiries etc which means she doesn*t have to travel into the London Office every day : She arranges His Shows and acts as His Hostess. She is fluent in Spanish : French & Italian which is an asset ! They are here til next Wednesday (12 June) and their plane leaves on Friday. They are flying via Los Angeles to do some Busisness there for RIOJA. We have a POLICY never to use actual Photos but the one I used is exactly how they look glass in Hand ! They are both in their Early 60\'s ! Thanks for your kind comments !

Blessings & Peace & Love
Yours as always : ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡
