| | | Poppies
Firstly, I must say that I do like the new poppy header to the WAB home page which has appeared following the upgrade  .
Secondly, it does seem that unfortunately these colourful signs of high summer are becoming scarcer.
I remember a few years ago seeing many fields and roadside verges in Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk populated with poppies .... but not now  . Where have all the poppies gone?
Anyone else still seeing poppy fields in their area?

Richard | Very appropriate considering today's date.Last year a local farmer turned his field over and in June there was an explosion of poppies. It was even pictured on local news. There were people far and wide coming to picture it.
I think they're beautiful and always means the beginning of summer to me.
I noticed that this year the coastal horned poppies did well. Love their wonderful yellow colour. julie

I also love the poppies at the top of the page
If you have to turn the soil over for them to germinate. |

A very fitting image and a mark of respect for today I agree.
You might like to see this wonderful photograph taken by WAB's own Kev Lewis (submitted in August this year) Link .
Click on the small image to see the full size version. I could gaze into it for hours. Perhaps we should all make a point of planting some next spring, where we're able to? |
