We are delighted to be able to continue supporting the annual Poppy appeal as we have every year back in England, for those of you that may be unfamiliar with this, each year in anticipation of remembrance Sunday, held on the second Sunday in November, poppies are bought and worn to pay respect to those that lost their lives serving their country. Why a poppy? well this began following world war one and the poppy was the predominant flower to grow in the battle fields of Europe that witnessed such brutal combat. Remembrance Sunday itself is a significant and poignant date marking the ending of hostilities in Europe following the first world war, the armistice came into effect at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, poppies have been bought and worn as an opportunity to remember those that laid down their lives in order we can live our life as we do today, it originated with world war one then world war two however encompasses all conflicts with this year a particular focus on those that served and suffered in the Korean War. We still observe a two minute silence on armistice day at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month remembering those we lost in protecting our way of life. In England you would proudly wear your poppy in the weeks preceding the 11th November, so if you are visiting or even passing our Tea rooms pop in and purchase a poppy to show your appreciation for those that died in the service of their country the suggested donation for a poppy is $1.00 however feel free to donate more.
Don`t forget our Late Night Shopping on Friday 1st November, where we are open until 8pm and will be decorated for Christmas. So take this opportunity to get that perfect gift for that special someone!
