What a wonderful person Poppy sounds and the work she did has always fascinated me. I helped in a small way rescue Bletchley Park by donating money around the time they were in serious need of the support. I still have t been even though it’s just a county or two away from our home in Berkshire.
That's lovely to hear Nick, what a generous thing to do. It's so important to keep the heritage alive. And it's definitely worth a visit when you can get to Bletchley. It's incredible to see the huts in the grounds and get an idea of all the incredible work they did to help bring peace.
Thank you for commenting, Grandma Poppy was wonderful indeed!
An absolutely lovely piece, Jo. Beautifully written. Makes me think of all the unsung heroes whose quiet actions enabled possibility for the following generations. Heartfelt gratitude to your grandmother and her colleagues.
Thank you Barbara, that means a lot. You're right about the unsung heroes. There must be so many whose stories we'll never know. So thankful for all that they did.
Beautifully written and so lovely to read. Grandma Poppy 💜💜 we did love her name…so much so that Immy was going to be a Poppy…..she has it as her middle name 💜
So thoughtful and evocative!
Thanks for the lovely comment, Bonnie :-)

Beautiful writing Jo, thank you.
Thank you for brightening up my morning as I pass poppies on my way - and of course, we all can think of nothing else when we see them!
