If you want British Legion ones I could keep an eye out for the first ones on sale and send you some. Air mail is usually under one week.
They are only two paper petals, with a plastic stalk -
They always want to give me more poppies than I need - the Legion organised a holiday by the sea for my Dad when he was unable to get out of the house, so I give them folding money.
Let me know your terrestial address in a PM, and how many poppies you'd like, if you want the British ones.
Anne the Pleater :ootd:
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
