Poppy

I'm old-fashioned and like the traditional paper poppy that you buy a week or two before Remembrance Day. I love how it gradually gets a bit battered and curly around the edges as you wear it every day on the way to and from work.

I once bought one of those shiny metal ones, it was very pretty but I can’t wear it as the safety catch came off so I buy one each year now.

Lots of knitted poppies for us this year with the paper ones few and far between

It doesn’t matter what type or what state is in, it’s the sentiment & the donation to a good cause that matters.

I love to see a poppy being worn and yes, I agree about the way it curls as you wear it.
