Red poppies are a symbol of war remembrance the world over. One often wears a poppy in remembrance of those who have died in past wars or those who still serve. In most Western countries the poppy is worn on or around Armistice Day (11 November), but here in New Zealand they are most commonly seen in the week around Anzac Day, the 25th of April. (They are also seen at major military commemorative events, at military funerals, at war graves and cemeteries throughout the year.)

We have had a real Autumnal feel this week, misty days and cool breezes gently blowing the leaf litter about. There is a definite smell about Autumn / Fall don’t you think? It’s a sort of comforting musty mossy smell, damp with dew.

Autumn fungi are popping their heads up from under the trees and naturally collections of fruit and nuts, chestnuts and walnuts in particular litter the ground too.

So what better bread to make for Andrew’s round of Waiter there’s something in my… with his chosen theme being “BREAD in all it’s yeasty, aroma producing glory”
