Re: Poppies
I would have liked to wear a poppy this year. Oddly perhaps, I have yet to see anywhere where I could donate and acquire one.
In past years it seemed that many shops, even takeaways had a donations box. There was even a house to house collector. This year despite my willingness to donate I have found nowhere to do so, and yet I don not live or work in the back of beyond.
I want to donate and will probably now spend some effort working out where I can send a cheque. If the lack of ready ability to donate is commonplace, one wonders how much this worthwhile cause will loose.
In the past, through voluntary occupations that I am no longer involved with, I am priviledged to have played my part in enabling local rememberance ceremonys. Now I will simply remember.
