This year we added two extras to our annual poppy display on the village bus shelter. Our Soldier now has his faithful dog, who we shall call Bob. And our new colourful “waterfall”, includes yellow poppies. to represent the colour of munitions workers’ skins, especially after they worked with TNT.
A huge, huge Thank You to everyone who knitted and crocheted poppies, from ages 5 to 95. I counted in total 586 new ones to add to 1,000 from the past few years. I must get a life!!
It is such a lovely community project to be involved in and to remember and reflect.
An amazing display. Congratulations to everyone involved in putting it together
Thank you all, it looks stunning!
