A Son of the Rock

I saw my first remembrance poppies of the year yesterday.* Amazingly they were being worn by MSPs at First Minister’s Questions. (Mind you I hadn’t watched footage of the Westminster Parliament this week.)

That’s still a bit early. October 28^th. It’s not even Halloween yet.

And Remembrance Sunday is about as late as it can be this year being on November 14^th so yesterday was a full 19 days before the commemoration ceremonies.

At least the TV broadcasters weren’t sporting them yet.

*Today there were some at the till of shop I was in, so the public now has its chance to contribute to the poppy fund.
