    Tower of London poppies

    I think this is brilliant - beautiful and poignant.

    Row on row, the poppies flow at the Tower of London - Telegraph

    Must get up to London to see it before Armistice Day.

    You can buy a poppy which will get sent to you early next year. Not sure what you'd do with it though!

    Oh Poppies!

    The Sky News auto-subtitles said there would be one puppy for each fallen soldier. I thought at the time that could get a bit messy.
    My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.

      We saw them the Friday before last and ordered one last Monday..

      If anyone does order one can you post the order number its probably a good estimate for the number sold...

        Going to see them Thursday, looks beautiful from the pics I've seen.
        Practically perfect in every way....there's a time and (more importantly) a place for malarkey.

            Facebook friend volunteered to do the planting. Looks like she had a really good day.

                They look great - had a wander down last week and it's very poignant. Mrs has ordered one, probably go in the garden.

                    Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.
