Welsh Poppy.

I always buy two new poppies every year, usually the ones with the date on, but when I saw these, I had to buy them.  We are both wearing them with pride. 
I had the day planned out, but like everything, things don't always go according to plan. I  washed our jeans while we were having breakfast, and J went to put them on the line for me, while I was in the shower. When I came out of the shower, and walked into our bedroom, the line was on the floor. I called J, and he went out and repaired it for me, thank goodness, as I had more washing to go out. The annoying thing is, we  replaced it during the summer months ready to withstand the winter weather. Obviously it was an inferior line, but we are not sure where we bought it.  We were going to change our duvet , as we still have the 4.5 summer weight on the bed, but the last few nights I have put my Welsh wool blanket on the top, so that will keep us warm  for a few more weeks, until we get the 13.5 quilt down from the attic.
