More than a slight exaggeration, rather a whopper, 6 poppies hardly constitutes a field but they are pretty and a few in the borders look nice. Flowers are like pieces of music to me, they have memories and if they are good memories you want to keep them. The big red poppies remind me of my stepdad Joe who gave me the plants, these opium poppies remind me of brother in law Tudor who enjoyed painting them down the road. Queen Elizabeth roses I put in as my mother loved that variety and my dad loved peonies. I have the bush variety but I still need to source just the ordinary big headed flower peonies.
I am just the same with music, play Rod Stewart and I am mentally transported back to Redcar Jazz club in the sixties when Malc and I had just started ''seeing each other'' I had back combed hair, short skirts and Malc had a plethora of spots... but we were in love.
Malc says 'Don't forget Long John Baldry' wonder what happened to him?
(Apparently Long John and his Hoochie Coochie men featuring Rod Stewart on vocals was when we first saw Rod. Long John died in Canada in 2005)
