About the picture(s)
A gentleman found some World War Two gas masks and hats in his attic when he moved into his house decades ago. To cheer everyone up he made this display in his garden using bits and pieces around the house. This was still at the full lockdown stage where people were only allowed out for exercise and buying essentials. People could not meet up with friends or groups. Everyone had a chuckle as they passed on the way to the shops. He changed the signs every few hours. I particularly like the random Arsenal football sign.
The 2nd picture of the bus stop was taken cycling through a village on VE Day. A first glance you might not notice that every poppy has been hand-knitted by villagers. Probably about 300+ knitted poppies. Mind-boggling amount of work...
