Wearing the lilac.

[TrulyTurtles]

Please, oh wise, kind and beneficent (not to mention beauteous and radiant) MNHQ can we please have lilac flowers for the 25th of May?
For those not in the know, on the Discworld, this is the date of The People's Glorious Revolution, when those killed doing their duty are remembered by their comrades.
In our world, many now support the idea, not just to remember the wonder that was Sir Terry Pratchett, but also to remember those whose lives are affected by Alzheimer's and to raise awareness of this hideous embuggerance.
It's only a little thing, but it would be a lovely little thing.

Yayy!!!

I have a lovely lilac flower lapel pin on order for The Glorious 25th too :)

Hooray, well done MN :)

Just seen the reply from Rebecca mn- thank you so much. We do appreciate the effort. (And I like to think somewhere Pterry and Vimes will be nodding appreciatively) Now 'scuse me- got something in my eye.

Thanks so much Tech and Rebecca.

Yay. Thank you thank you thank you

ahhh great, good on you Mumsnet and Techside

Bogeyface - where did you order your lilac lapel pin? I was looking at the RSPB flower pins in our local garden centre the other day, but they don't seem to have a lilac one.

Oh MN you're bloody wonderful (of the lilac variety) and yes I do just have something in my eye

Aww, hadn't heard of this but it's a fab idea. I'll have to see where I can get some RL lilac.

Thank you MN

This is a wonderful idea [lilacflowers]

Not sure if it's bern mentioned before but The Alzheimer's Societies 'dementia Awareness' week is the 17th to the 23rd of May. INFO HERE

This is such a good idea. Thanks MNHQ; not quite lilac

That's lovely. We'll be driving across the country that day but I will check in and post my lilac with pride.

Bizarrely all my posts are highlighted lilac. I chose it ages ago.

Ooh found this on eBay.

Thats the one I have Adora!!

Well, more accurately, will have when it arrives!

Better get myself one before they sell out.

I'm hoping to have some real lilac from the tree outside our bedroom window - I actually thought it flowered earlier than late May (we've only lived here 24 years, why would I know something like that...)

Just seen this - it's lovely, and thank you so much, RebeccaMN.

Thank you - I await the confusion of everyone else but it seems quite fitting for it to be launched amongst a lilac carpet over the boards.
V pretty pin too.

Hurrah! Thank you MNHQ and Techs!
