The Scarlet Poppy
I love poppies along with much of the population and this year has been amazing for these stunning flowers that generally appear in June. This year they were early and are still persisting on disturbed ground including road verges. Around Peterborough there have been a number of whole fields full of nothing but poppies as […]
