Poppies at the Tower of London.

[sylvi]

What a day i have had. We caught the 8.35 am from Bedworth railway station,then Coventry and onwards to London. We got a taxi from Euston over to the tower. I have never seen so many people in all my life. The man who is with my hubby in my other post said some football clubs would love to have that many people at a football match. He came with us as well. The poppies are really something. When you get to edge the poppies are glorious. I have some lovely photos that i will post on Facebook. We got back about 4.30 pm and i am just so exhausted. My ankle that got broke in May was very swollen so i am sitting here with a bag of frozen peas on it.

Hugs everyone.xxx

Hi sylvi,

I went to see them last week and it was so crowded! Very moving though and interesting to watch them adding new poppies. Hope your ankle eases up soon.

Best wishes,

Ruth

I ordered two already!! I wanted one for me and one for mum and they lift them after Poppy Day and send them to you. Such a lovely idea x

They are really beautiful Allanah they take your breath away,but boy the people down there i haven't:-)seen anything like it before even when we went to:-)the Chelsea flower show. Xxx

Allanah, was it Combat Stress you ordered yours from? If not could you let me know where. Thanks. x

[allanah in reply to nomoreheels]

No poppies @hrp. Org

[nomoreheels in reply to allanah]

Just checked that site, they've sold them all. Thanks anyway.

[allanah in reply to nomoreheels]

Gosh glad I got them first day then! I did think they would go quickly x

[nomoreheels in reply to allanah]

Yup, lucky girl. ;0

Glad you had a good time Sylvi. I'd love to go and see them but will have to make do with looking at all the lovely pictures. Thanks for sharing x

[allanah in reply to Hidden]

Hi how are you doing??

[Hidden in reply to allanah]

Hi Allanah, at the risk of always sounding negative lately I'm doing pretty miserably. I'll send you a pm later as Im on my phone and my fingertips are complaining x Hope you're doing well? Was that you I saw on the Remission Mission wall? My mugshot is on there too

[sylvi in reply to Hidden]

Paula you are not alone darling in suffering. I don't post as much when i am suffering. My daughters flatmate said he knew i was suffering on Sunday as i wasn't posting. If i have a good day like yesterday i will suffer the next and yes i am this morning. Big hugs darling. Will someone please tell me how to get onto the remission mission wall. Thanks xxx

[Hidden in reply to sylvi]

Its true Sylvi, we save all our energy up for a nice day out or special event but then pay as a result. Still it's good to keep on pushing ourselves. My husband always tells me to rest but we have to find a balance don't we. Those memories you made will be with you always. The remission mission should be here remission.nras.org.uk/

If that doesn't work just go to the nras site and its under all the latest news. Im about four down from Dr Hilary Jones lol x

Thank you so much for posting this pic Sylvi & I'm so pleased you had a lovely day. I would love to see them myself, I imagine it's very powerful.

So sorry your ankle is paining you & hope it settles soon. x

[sylvi in reply to nomoreheels]

The nice thing about today was there was no charge for seeing them . The weather was lovely as well. Xxx

[nomoreheels in reply to sylvi]

That probably accounts for how crowded it is but I imagine many would be prepared to at least make a token donation, the taking split between appropriate charities like HFH etc. How nice the weather was lovely too...bonus!
