Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

Through the dancing poppies stole A breeze, most softly lulling to my soul.

John Keats

    Red poppies are still a powerful reminder of the losses in World War One. But we normally see only the poppy attached to the shirt. I don’t think I have seen them growing like that.

    Do they “plant” these here every year, Cherie?

      No it was a special art installation to commemorate the centenery of the outbreak of WWI.

      Now the Tower of London plants flowers in the moat that flower during the summer months.

        Ha ha! It’s free entry for me with Art Pass :)
        It’s much better value than EH or NT, cos it offers you a little bit from both EH and NT plus a lot more from other attractions.
        Including, Chatham & Portsmouth dockyards, Shakespears homes, all the Ironbridge sites, etc etc. Very good value for money indeed.
        Excluding Attingham Park though.
        But I am sure they can give me special discounts if I mention your name, right? ;)
