Poppy field!


After complaining about the lack of poppies these past few years I went on a poppy hunt - and found loads of them and also an ostrich farm (photo to come)!
These two discoveries are, I think, related. Here's what I think. One farmer decided that grain wasn't profitable any longer so he let his fields run to seed, as it were, and invested in ostriches instead. This year, there were a few roadside poppies in mid May but then from that time on we've had thunderstorms everyday and it was just the right situation for the dormant poppy seeds. Et voilà!
