Friday 14 November 2025 Sewing Bee at Broughton During Sewing Bee, we have been busy (bees) making poppies for Remembrance Day. You may have seen us wearing a white poppy, which is remembrance of all victims of war, challenging war and militarism, and a commitment to peace. You may have seen the purple poppy which is worn to remember animals that have been victims of war.
