'Weeping Window' - a privilege to see

We recently visited 'wave', an installation using the poppies that were originally at the Tower of London as part of 'Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red. We own one of the poppies at home. So when we found out at the artist has two installations this year, one in Southend and one in Derby, we decided to see both.

On our way back home we stopped off in Derby and visited the Derby Silk Milk . During the war it made medical supplies.

The Weeping Willow installation is outstanding. The poppies cascade down the silk mill and all I kept thinking was how each poppy at the Tower of London represented someone who died during the World Wars. A privilege to see.
