    Just a reminder for everyone..

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the Dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie
    In Flanders fields

    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
    In Flanders fields…

    You get used to it after a while. I also used to look at people and wonder why they never bothered to wear poppies, my immediate thought being that they didn't bother to donate. But when I started helping out the RBL some years back, I soon realised that plenty of people give generous donations but prefer not to wear a poppy.
    Well done Steve, I used to sell poppies for the Hellesdon branch of the Legion here in Norwich but we had to stop as the local store needed to have sellers "manning" their post for set hours each day. That was fair enough but at our branch I am the only one under the age of 65 so the other fella's, eventually by age or passing could no longer fill the required time slots. A shame, but those of us still left will be on parade tomorrow beret's and all! Leon.
