New here with a question
Hi all,
My name's Lucy and I'm originally from Cornwall- lived in the US for seven years now. I am married with two little boys, and I work for a British newspaper here in San Diego.
Anyway, my question is, does anyone know of anywhere that sells poppies for Remembrance Day? I haven't been able to find any online (but my search did bring me here!) Preferably in San Diego, but if I could get one online that would also be great. I have an elderly friend here who is British and I think it would mean a lot to her.
So cool finding this forum!

Well I have one, your onby real bet would be to get one posted. I would be happy to send one, but it would not get to you on time.

sorry, I though Andy meant he would post a list of places I could get them- I misunderstood. Thanks Andy. So I am still open to any suggestions in San Diego!

Re: New here with a question
Poppys are usually sold here for Memorial Day which is at the end of May. I don't think they sell them for Veterans Day (Rememberence Day). I might be wrong.......

Re: New here with a question
Is it really beyond the capability of most grown adults to actually "make" a half decent poppy themselves?
