I hope so, I was thinking about them a couple of days ago. I was thinking of also getting a poppy brooch to wear.

I doubt it ..........

I think the staff is reduced to the absolute minimum as they try to decide what to do with the poor old site.

They've been trying to decide since before May when they told me discussions had been going on "for a couple of months"

sooooooooooooo ......


don't hold your breath!

For those living in Northumberland there's a temporary installation of poppies at the Woodhorn Museum, Ashington. The installation is called 'Weeping Windows' and my cousin tells me it is very nice. It only has a few weeks left on display.

I think this is the original weeping window from the display at the Tower of London.
