Viewing The Poppies In The Rain

I went to The Tower today to see the poppies.

Seeing them in the rain, might have made the whole thing more poignant in a way.

But certainly rain or not, the field of ceramic poppies is truly spectacular.

I agree, I haven’t managed to get down to see them for various reasons, but I have ordered one, and one for my mum as well as part of Christmas present. Her dad was gassed and was presumed dead until someone pushing the cart of dead bodies noticed him move.

About This Blog

What this blog will eventually be about I do not know.

But it will be about how I’m coping with the loss of my wife and son to cancer in recent years and how I manage with being a coeliac and recovering from a stroke. It will be about travel, sport, engineering, food, art, computers, large projects and London, that are some of the passions that fill my life.

And hopefully, it will get rid of the lonely times, from which I still suffer.

Why Anonymous? That’s how you feel at times.
