We made some poppies for the field of poppies to be created at the Devon County show this year. One each for a Devon life lost during the First World War.
There was a great deal of counting stitches, chatting and tea drinking! Some people brought poppies they had made earlier; some of the results are very delicate and beautiful, some a little more....folk art! All lovely and will serve the purpose admirably.
Barbara had done some research beforehand and discovered that more than 800 people from Brixham lost their life during the First World War. An astounding number of people from a small community.
