I actually noticed that nobody was selling poppies at the ground yesterday, appreciate it’s a week early but more sales = more money for our heroes.

Wrote this today.
They came, they came, I knew they would,
I could not cry, I knew I should,
They knocked the door and looked forlorn,
And spoke the words my heart was torn.

The days and years have gone so slow,
The place he lies I now must go,
In Flanders’s fields the poppies smell,
Where sons and brothers and husbands fell.

As I near my end I won’t forget,
The way I felt when we first met,
But as the sun goes down I sense his ghost,
And finally cry to The Last Post.

We are wearing poppies with pride & out of respect for those who sacrificed their lives from the evil regimes.

There seem to be less and less folk wearing a poppy every year, yet more and more wearing something with a rainbow on, dread to think what will happen if we go to another world war.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young, Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow. They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted; They fell with their faces to the foe.

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.
