They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning,

We will remember them.

 Poppy picture taken earlier this year near my Grandma's house.

Poppies also;

 Made by me - donation made to the Royal British Legion

 Pinned to Little Son's band uniform before he went off to take part in a Remembrance Concert earlier this week.

Sitting in a old stone bottle - waiting to be pinned to uniforms before Parades on Sunday.

Poppies, poppies everywhere :)

Isn't that the most beautiful sight?

Its a field just into the next village from me (Country Girl will know exactly where I mean ;)). Its been left unploughed this year and its just a sea of red at the moment. Every time we have driven by I have commented that I must take a picture. Today I managed that!

The reason was I have spent the day at an Open House event. I was asked to come along at the Craft Fair I did with my sisters last month. I was kind, I took some items from my sisters to sell too. Couldn't take too much as I only have pedal power;

However I had enough to fill the little table I borrowed;

I had a very pleasant day - a couple of the girls from the S&B group were there selling their wares. So we've stitched, nattered and been looked after rather well. We were provided with a lovely lunch and plenty of teas & coffees.

The garden of the house backs onto the poppy field so of course we had to sneak out there to take photos;

Me (on the left) with a couple of my friends - wish I'd put my lippy on ;)

We did ok - sold a few bits & pieces - made a profit as today didn't cost me anything :)  I've also booked a table at little son's school summer fayre & the sisters & I are going to go 1/4 shares on it so hopefully we'll all recoup our £1.75 each outlay!!

I shall leave you with another view of the poppies;
