    Bit early in the year yet for the poppies to be out but keep watching any fields where any sort of grain is growing.

    There's some poppies - lovely big red ones - on the Camster road and on the Sibster road

    I think dragonfly is looking for the wild red poppy and not the large escapee cultivars.

    Maybe someone should go and pull them up then? Wonder where they came from as they're in the middle of nowhere
