| APL: Remember Remember all things November The month of November the eleventh in our calendar year is representative for several annual events Remembrance Day on 11th November or Poppy day as it is widely known remembers all our brave ancestors who served in the First & Second World Wars. November is an important month in Mexico as they celebrate Dia de los Muertos (The day of the dead) and on November 20th celebrate Dia de la Revolucion - Revolution day!

On 5th November the English have an excuse to set off lots of fireworks, thanks to Guy Fawkes's Gunpowder Plot in 1605 to blow up the Houses of Parliament on its opening day.

| Patricia Fenn will be covering EGYPT, BRIGHTON (UK) and SHEFFIELD (UK) through November. Patricia has lived in Crete, Greece, for many years and is inspired by its colourful people and the breathtaking landscapes of the Greek Islands. Always on a quest for some humour, or a story within a picture, she travels the island's villages exploring the individual idiosyncrasies of a rapidly changing country. The recent addition of 'stock photography' to her portfolio has resulted in her work being acquired by National Geographic, the British Government, various advertising companies, archeological societies and a book about the churches of Karpathos. Her portfolio of travel and flora and fauna images of the Greek Islands continues to grow.
