There's a memorial in Park Lane near the Marble Arch. I was passing it the other day. It's dedicated to animals killed in war. There was a poster about purple poppies. Now I know what it was referring to.

Poppies

My grandmother was quite a character. She reused the same poppy for about 20 years! She kept it in a box on the mantelpiece. I don't think she realised about donating. She just didn't like to waste anything and didn't see the point of buying one every year.

Am I right in thinking that if you buy from the BL, poppyshop.org.uk, that all the proceeds go to them? These are the Buckley pieces too. If this is the case, as it seems to state on the site, then I will buy from here. Also a purple poppy.

I might wear 3 poppies, a red one, a white one and a purple one. That should cover all bases.

I did buy a Buckley Poppy when the first did them but I also donate for a paper poppy. I would like to think that this is not another occasion of commemoration which has been 'hijacked' into a money spinning commercial operation.Are these P&P free or are Q donating the P&P costs too?Sorry for being cynical but when Christmas is being rammed down out throats in October it does make me question.

I do not like the way my small Buckley crystal brooch sits on the lapel so wanted a large enamel one. I decided to go to the BL site so they get all the profits but none there. However, I saw a small enamel wreath of little poppies which has a better fastening. It was £5.99, just under £10 with postage. I ordered on Sunday and it arrived this morning. Well done BL.
