We had a lovely time with the Willow Lady at the extremely entertaining Michael McIntyre show in Bournemouth last evening. He was on stage a full 2 hours and barely paused for breath! Imagine facing 4,000 people and having the daunting task of making them laugh for all that time.
Driving back through Dorset today we spotted this breath-taking sight at Fontmell Down. Do English poppies normally flower in mid-October?

Wow!!! Those are amazing!!! Beautiful.
All of a sudden, I’ve gotten the image of Dorothy, the Tin Man, the Scarecrow, and the Cowardly Lion walking through these fields and going to sleep.

Jennifer: It was a totally breath-taking sight … the field of poppies is near an aerodrome, hence the plane I managed to get in the shot.

Absolutely stunning, I love poppies and to see a whole field of them in October must be quite unusual.

I hopped over here from Marigold jam – surely this is really unusual – but absolutely beautiful
