Just WOW, well done to everyone involved.

🇬🇧 🇫🇷A HUGE THANK YOU 🇬🇧🇫🇷

We asked… and you delivered beyond anything we could have imagined. 🇬🇧

To the The WI (National Federation of Women's Institutes) and every single individual who picked up their needles, hooks and wool for us…. THANK YOU 🧶 ⭐️

The response has been nothing short of incredible…💫✨

🥁 110,849 poppies. 🥁
One hundred and ten thousand, eight hundred and forty-nine.

📦 Every day, parcels were unpacked and added to a growing pile, constantly mixed and moved as more and more kept arriving. 📦 ✉️

They have travelled with our Giants to Normandy, where they are currently on display, and will also be part of the installation later this year at Waddesdon Manor.

We did reach out to TV and wider media to share this incredible achievement, but with bigger global stories dominating, it wasn’t picked up before our departure to Normandy…
but honestly, this speaks louder than any headline ever could. 🗞️📰

Due to the sheer number of parcels received, we’re unable to reply individually, but please do share our thanks with your WI groups and colleagues. Every single poppy has been gratefully received and truly appreciated.

We also now have enough poppies to restore our crates for the next few years, and even support another project already in development. 🙌

We’re currently in Normandy 🇫🇷 and the poppies are looking incredible. We’ll be sharing lots of photos so you can see your amazing work in place.

From all of us at Standing with Giants…this is your contribution, and we are so proud to carry it with us. 🌺

🫡🇬🇧❤️

At April’s meeting, one of our members, Deborah, took us through the art of Silk Painting. It was a relaxing evening with plenty of concentration too. At the end everyone and away with a beautiful hand painted silk card. Many thanks to her.

TAKE CARE – It is coming up to TOAD season.
Signs are up in NUN'S WALK as there are several places that Toads cross the road.
Longparish also has a Toad Patrol to help them out and look for volunteers.
