    Just arriving in that London place for a meeting. Sunny, so off to see the poppies :T

    The Universe still has not coughed up - but may deliver more than was requested - which is :T and :eek: in equal measures :D

    Awesome is the word Courgette and very moving - apart from the crowds grinning into cameras which didn't seem appropriate :(

    I found the Poppies very moving. We took the dog when we went, and he posed for many tourists (he is rather large) and ensured that we made it through the crowd easily :)
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Hello! Thought I'd shuffle on in here, and see whats up right now :) poppies, as well as money shuffle :) I went to see them the first weekend, very beautiful. Crowds were even bigger than usual, because there was a cycle race on, but I hung about long enough to get a really good view of them.

    There were lions made of chicken wire too (no, I'm not drunk!). Are they still there?

    KC - were you on the pop when you were there? No point in claiming to be sober now :D
