My Tower Poppy Has Arrived....

[gness]

...and is as beautiful as those who've received theirs have said.....☺

[Zacs-Master]

An appropriate time for reflection on those who gave thier lives for our freedom.

Lovely. How are you going to display it?

[gness]

I'm sure they were more aware of what they were fighting for, Zacs than you ever will be.

[gness]

I don't know yet, 2sp......I have yet to put the stem on....but it's just lovely sitting on the coffee table....x

[2sp_]

You'll need to let us see a photo!

[gness]

Next visiting child will show me how to do that....well they will do it....they show me and I forget.....x

[2sp_]

lol!

[janbee]

Lucky you gness. I'm still waiting for my two. They're due to arrive "January/February"... so, I'll just have to be patient a while longer. I hope you get lots of pleasure every time you look at your beautiful poppy.

[gness]

Thanks, Jan....my last ETA was February so I was surprised to get an email today saying it was being delivered.....x

[Zacs-Master]

What makes you think I have a lack of appreciation for what they were fighting for? Rather presumptuous and not a little effete of you.

[gness]

Can't believe you need to ask that, Zacs.

[MargoTester]

Gness - glad that you got your poppy they are beautiful aren't they. Let me know how you get on with putting the stem on, I had problems with mine still not sure it's correct although I followed the instructions.(I cleaned the stem with a Brillo pad)
2sp - I posted a picture, albeit not a very good one, in chatterbank on 24th November under Fao mickey. It's in Baldric's post. Somewhere on there I also posted the name of a company who do display cease for them, but they were from £25 up.

[gness]

I will, Margo....the rubber washers are splattered with mud....I like that...reminds me of when it stood with all those other poppies....x

[janbee]

Margo, I remember your pic. It looked lovely. I'm sooo jealous. Everybody seems to have their poppies except for me. I'm at the back of the queue I think.

[Zacs-Master]

Well, I do, so could you clarify?

[MargoTester]

It seems like such a long time doesn't it Jan, but you are not alone my son is still waiting for his. Fingers crossed it won't be to much longer.

[gness]

The email confirming my order is dated 7th Oct.....but they may not be being sent out in that order of course...x

[Tilly2]

I'm glad it's arrived safe and sound. Now, be careful you don't knock it off the table.

[janbee]

They don't seem to be getting sent out in any order really. It seems to be random. Fingers crossed it'll be soon. I'll let you know. In fact, I'll be so chuffed and so vocal about it, it'll probably be on the national news ! Oyez... oyez

[gness]

Tilly.....you have no idea how carefully I unpacked it....if anyone was going to drop a poppy..........☻
