The Red Poppies

Ok, I admit I had to nip out to find a blip before bed time. These poppies were too good to pass by. They often only last a day in flower ( especially when it rains)with a big build up from those amazing buds.
By coincidence I was in a Newtongrange library today where they have a little rememberance project for the First World War. They have a Poppy Challenge - knit or crochet a red poppy to decorate the library. They already have about 60.
