The Historic Royal Palaces have just produced this amazing film, done by drones, of the poppies at the Tower of London. I hope you will look at it, especially those who have no choice but to miss the real thing: |

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I am hoping to see the real thing on Friday - in the rain! |

As we were due in London yesterday afternoon we made sure we went early to see the Poppies. Still lots of people going but the poppies are being removed fast. Such a shame the weeping window had already gone. |

I saw Sheila Hancock say that, and I was a bit surprised. |

I received my poppy today. Was a bit worried when I found they were using Yodel as the courier and, sure enough, when I tracked it online, they supposedly tried to deliver at 8pm last night and had left a card - no card - and we were in all day and evening and the dog didn't bark! After pfaffing about this morning, I finally got to talk to someone and then had to contact the local person - luckily it arrived safely. But I've had to put off various things in order to stay in and wait for them - grrrr! |

A new short video piece which includes a speeded up section of the poppies being removed before packing. |

Don't clamp the spike between your knees if you've got decent trousers on - and you may need some Vaseline :-D |
