What of the poppies?
I noticed people singing the national anthem as I cycled by.
The following day, I cycled past the place again. No people this time, but I noticed a poppy on the grass.
Then another, another. Were they lost, or were they discarded?
I collected 14 altogether. It seemed a significant number. Was it due to the the strong wind at the time?
Or is this some new custom associated with the event?
I was a little concerned as pins were still attached to some, but more than that - puzzled.
It's a gaggle of geese, a school of fish, but what do you call a collection of poppies?
