We keep a big old bells whiskey bottle (you know, the huge one) and put all our coppers in it over the year for poppy day and other stuff. This year I sent my boys into school with a purse each jam packed with coppers and instructed them to put the whole lot in for thier poppy. Needless to say both came back with a poppy and a bulging purse. We did have a long talk about it but they are only 4 and 6 and I have to admire their business skills! The coppers went in next day with the taxi driver.......

 

It's not so long ago is it that Europe was at war. Not long at all. When you think how lucky we are to have missed conscription by a generation or 2. It doesn't bear thinking about. God bless those brave soldiers who gave us the chances we have today and god bless those who continue to do so.

Poem received from my bro today, written for the Poppy Appeal abusers:

 

This land was built from blood and tears,

The Sacrifice of 2000 years.

The Romans came, the Vikings too,

So why should we be afraid of you?

Mark my words, and mark them well,

It was 1066 when we last fell.

When it comes to a fight we hate to lose,

So respect our dead, or leave.

You choose.
