Poppies ( pictures added)

The weather was very mild for this time of year, no rain and no wind, hardly needed the coat I took.

As for the poppy, I thought yours was the red one?

Very droll

I went yesterday. It was breathtaking, well worth the trip even though there were engineering works on the District and Circles lines meaning we had to take a detour and walk.

The travel chaos didn't seem to deter people as the crowds were enormous. It took a while to move to the front of the queue to see the view. But it was well worth it.

It is quite a sight, isn't it.  Someone had a wonderful brainwave there, and made nearly £20,000,000 for the RBL.

This is what they did in GCHQ, on the other side of my town.  Britain's version of the NSA.

My wife went up with the kids just after it was started, and we took them week before last.
A truly impressive sight.
