There has to be some seriousness in part, but yes, it has to be fun. That said there is a lot more banter than picture taking some time! With luck we'll have a winner sometime tomorrow. I just need to sift through the entries...

Just back from my lunchtime constitutional, and I managed to bag a snap of two ginger bearded, bobble hat wearing, fixie riding hipsters! It doesn't get any better than that.
Maybe it's 3BM and Potsy on a trip to London?

It may be a false beard, stuck on as a cunning disguise.
When did Potsy grow a ginger beard????

In the true spirit of this competition I have decided to enter something that want taken recently and features no bikes, though there was one or two in the shed about 20m behind me...

You shouldn't have done this. It'll open a can of worms.......
This poppy was 2ft away from where my bikes are locked up

Everyone should make an effort to read it a few times, it's very moving and it sums the war up.
He wrote a few but this is his most well known. The crap he went through in the war only to die of pneumonia!
'In Flanders Fields'
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
John McCrae

There is another one by a German soldier that I have always found heart rendering as well. I will ask my husband to pull it off the bobsled for me and bring it upstairs...
