A Wall of Poppies: Honouring Remembrance at Hadleigh War Memorial

As communities across the country come together to honour those who gave their lives in service, our Director Colin MacLean has taken the lead in marking the start of the 2025 Poppy Appeal with a heartfelt act of remembrance at the Hadleigh War Memorial. Colin has unveiled a stunning wall of poppies, the first in a series of moving displays.

We are proud to share that our Director, Colin MacLean, has marked the beginning of the 2025 Poppy Appeal with a heartfelt tribute at the historic Hadleigh War Memorial in Chapel Lane.

To commemorate the start of this year’s Appeal, Colin has created a striking wall of poppies, a symbol of remembrance and gratitude for those who have served and sacrificed for our country. This moving display stands as a reminder of the enduring spirit of community and remembrance that unites us all.

This project is the first of three special Remembrance initiatives organised by Colin. Over the coming days, he will be launching two further commemorative displays:

Hockley Remembers, thousands of hand-knitted poppies will adorn the railings at Spa Road, Hockley

Thundersley Remembers, another stunning poppy display will appear along Hart Road, Thundersley

Together, these displays will feature thousands of knitted poppies, each one representing a heartfelt tribute from members of our local community. These projects not only honour the fallen but also bring people together through creativity, reflection, and shared remembrance.

We invite everyone to visit the displays over the coming weeks and take a moment to remember.

Lest We Forget.

From Repellers to Roommates: How We Accidentally Adopted Freda and her on-off boyfriend, Fred

Living next to the woods, we expected to feel closer to nature, but we didn’t expect to make friends with it. We thought we would spend our mornings listening to the birds and admiring the trees. Instead, we find ourselves checking that Freda the fox, our uninvited but much-loved garden guest has returned safely from her nightly wandering!
