This year to mark a century since Armistice day, one in six paper poppies will feature a "gold leaf" with the years '1918-2018' printed on it to mark the special occasion. There were quite a few in the box when I bought our poppies today.
Day 312 - November 8th
On returning from my morning walk with Millie today, I met our neighbour who was stood on the pavement with his camera pointing at the sky. Looking up I realised he was takign a photo of a rainbow. When I got to out front door I too decided to take a photo.
Day 310 - November 6th
Our autumn bedding plants have now been put into tubs are are doing well despite the frosty starts to some mornings.
Day 309 - November 5th
I recently bought a bag of Maynards Bassetts "Peace Babies" which are being sold in aid of Help For Heroes. I wasn't sure what the "Peace Babies" would look like. I thought maybe they would be shaped like little soldiers so was disappointed when i opened the bag to find that they were just regular "Jelly Babies". I was intrigued as to why they were called Peace babies so did a little bit of research. It appears that in 1918 Bassett's in Sheffield produced "Peace Babies" to mark the end of World War I. Production was then suspended during World War II due to wartime shortages but in 1953 the product was relaunched as "Jelly Babies".
Day 307 - November 3rd
Tonight we joined the rest of the village for the Annual Firework Display at the playing field. As usual it was a good display ...... and we won a raffle prize!

Whilst on holiday I bought this little succulent. He was a cute Halloween decoration.
