I am looking for Poppy Fields in the North-West UK to photograph, does anyone have any idea where I can go to see this?

Well everything's coming up roses! Got home from work last night and the lil' beauts have started to show!And I'd just received some Crimson Feathers so I've cast those also, can see myself doing a lot of thinning out in a few weeks... slanted

Thanks for the link Ann, truly moving. Melissa what you say is so true. There are so many books and movies, to name a few: All is quiet on the western front: an amazing experience. A Hilltop on the Marne by Mildred Aldrich is a day to day experience of the first months of the war. I found Vera Brittain's a Testament of Youth (Both book and series, and there is a new movie coming soon). Her letters are gut wrenching, especially those to Roland Leighton, a budding poet. It still makes me sick to the heart, that so many brilliant men were killed to satisfy the fear and warmongering of others. But I let - Roland Leighton (1895- 1915) say the last word, lest we forget: Hedauville The sunshine on the long white road That ribboned down the hill, The velvet clematis that clung Around your window-sill Are waiting for you still. Again the shadowed pool shall break In dimples at your feet, And when the thrush sings in your wood, Unknowing you may meet Another stranger, sweet. And if he is not quite so old As the boy you used to know, And less proud, too, and worthier, You may not let him go- (And daisies are truer than passion-flowers) It will be better so.

Adding my Thanks and Gratitude to all of the men and women who have served and protected our Grand nation and it's People. Like a line in a song I heard, Some gave all, All gave some. Hero's, all.
