A good friend has sent a photo of a beautifully crafted post box topper made to mark Remembrance Day. It’s another lovely piece of creativity and I am delighted to see that there is a Land Girl being honoured here too.

Sometimes at Roots, there are too many seedlings so when they have all been planted to fill their spaces, some are left over and we are invited to give them a home. I brought home a selection last Tuesday and today, in glorious sunshine (the anticyclonic gloom has left Cornwall) I planted them out. At Roots they’ve been planted in poly tunnels and so they may not survive in our garden though I have put plastic covers over them to look after them the best I can.

We wear white poppies that we get from The Peace Pledge Union which promotes peace.  The white poppy commemorates all people who died in conflict, soldiers and civilians, and focuses on achieving peace and challenging the way we look at war.
