A lovely wild poppy card from Valerie. These poppies hold a special place in the hearts of Australians. We wear them in remembrance of the soldiers killed in all of the wars. The custom dates from the armistice of World War 1 because many of our soldiers perished in Flanders where these poppies grow wild in the field.
A beautiful card and very special.
Thanak you Valerie.
A beautiful card and very special.
Coucou Carole! this etegami is not from Valerie, but from Marion! (Tricot rayé)
ReplyDeleteI didn't know this story about poppys in Australia. It's sad! Make me remeber a poem from Arthur Rimbaud. "Le dormeur du val"
