Lest we forget

Thanks for sharing these fresh pictures with us Mr Shiney,
Jenny

 

Fantastic photos @Shiney,still doubt that we shall get down there though and my Poppy is the tallest one out of the lot of em

One of Mr Kandies workmates spent £90 on train tickets a few weeks ago to go from Corby down to London to see them so don't know how much it would cost from where you live @Yvonne

 

My little piece of history

 

WOW!!!! I wish I had bought one now, beautiful.

 

Interesting, to me anyway, fact, the stems were made in Darlaston, where I was born.

A lady knocked on the door this lunch time just as I was about to open a text message from Mr Kandy so went to see what she wanted and was presented with two white oblong boxes.When I looked puzzled she informed me that they were our poppies I thanked her then went and read Mr Kandys text message which said that the Tower of London had sent him a text message this morning to say the poppies would be with us within the next two days,but it looks like they are here already

Not going to open them until Mr Kandy gets home this evening,after all he ordered and paid for them.Just hope they are both ok and have not been damaged in the picking,washing and packing process

 

We will remember them at Christmas,
Jenny

 

Jenny - thank you for posting that - I would never have seen it otherwise. Very moving

@Kandy - were your poppies ok? No damage? Have you displayed them?
