Prague March 1995

Some photos from a weekend break in Prague, plenty of great beer and even a football match between Viktoria Zizkov and Bohemians of Praha. The game on Sunday March 5th 1995 finished 3-4 to Bohemians, we managed to even get a drink will watching the game, the only downer on the day was some scroat running off with the C/Wood Blues flag.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
