I have my poppy!

And it has genuine Tower mud on it. I shall never wash it.

I'm thrilled skinny and tickled pink all at once.

I never forget that. Very lucky indeed.

How wonderful! And the Tower mud makes it even more poignant.

I'm still kicking myself for procrastinating for far too long and missing my chance to buy one of the poppies...

*nods* I had to carpe the old diem as soon as I saw them for sale. reckoned if I decided I didn't want it it'd make a good pressy.

Had mine for a while - late November from memory. It sits behind fireguard (3-year-old running around....) So do my Mum's & sisters for similar reasons. So glad to have brought one as we couldn't go and see them in situ - same 3 year old...

:) So glad you got one too.

You'll blink and said 3 year old will be dragging you to see what the 2024 equivalent of thepoppies is.

Wow! It's more complex than I thought they were; I thought they were flatter, more like the poppies one buys to pin onto clothes. And the colour is so rich! It would be a beautiful thing to have even without the connotations. Perfick.

*nods* Yes, and apparently they are all slightly different. Very solid, too - I had to use my monkey wrench to construct it!
