    I took this photo last year and have been using it as my Google home page. Yesterday, Google superimposed a poppy on the screen and managed to line it up with the engine cylinder.

    Jonathan Ball It's a way of life.

    I've only ever been to France and Belgium in the spring so I've missed the real poppies, only artificial ones from me I'm afraid...sorry.

    I took this outside a CWGC cemetery in Normandy. For the life of me I cant remember which one, I'm ashamed to say. There was a high stone wall with a large arched gateway which still had battle damge adjacent to it though.

    Despite poor technical quality I like to believe that this pic deserves a place in the thread because of its special authenticity in this area.

    I love Poppies, they look so beautiful. Sadly where we lived, growing Poppies for any motive was illegal. I hate those who found to make opium out of poppies. I love having poppy cakes.

    I thought I'd wait until we were out of November to post this.

    In June of this year, I set off on a two week holiday to Cephalonia with my girlfriend and her family, while my brother Tom (Combover, of these pages) headed off to Normandy. I was disappointed that I was unable to go.

    Before I left, I handed him and his girlfriend a key to my house so they could look after it. On my return, I found this awaiting me:



    [​IMG]

    In case you can't properly see the inscription, is reads as follows:

    "Dan,

    I knew you couldn't get to Normandy so I've brought Normandy to you. This poppy was picked from the roadside at Thury-Harcourt on 6th June 2011.

    Tom."

    Perhaps the best gift I have ever been given.
