I recently read a blog post by Sarah Shumate who volunteered to spend a day planting poppies at the Tower of London memorial to the British and colonial servicemen lost in WWI.
It’s an interesting account with some stunning photographs of the installation – well worth reading. Click on the link below.

The poppies are stunning, absolutely breathtaking and the pictures unbelievable. ❤ ❤ ❤
I can't figure out how to leave a comment on the original post.

Hi Tess. Wasn’t it a great post? The comments section seemed to hover out of sight for a while, and eventually download. I left a comment without any problem.

This has been a brilliant idea and the wonderful thing about sell-off to support half a dozen charities is outstanding.
Thanks for sharing, Maggie.

Poppies: beautiful blog! But the poppies are now sold out, and I live in Perth, too far away to go and see the Tower installation.
Camino blog: full of interest for another Camino addict. I was taken back to my various Caminos, which I am doing in sections. One suggestion: it would be nice to know the actual name of the albergue, as some towns have many. We can then seek out your recommended ones. (Maybe too late now though).
Photos: how do you achieve the lovely collages? (Especially the sloping sides?). Maybe it’s a feature of WordPress, which seems a bit different from Blogger which I use:
