'When all at once I saw a crowd, a host, of golden daffodils' as William Wordsworth so beautifully penned. These daffodils are to be found in the grounds of the Friends Meeting House (Quaker Church) in between North Herts Museum and Waitrose, in Hitchin.

'To the Lakes'

This looks like an exciting new exhibition at Wordsworth Grasmere on tourism in the Lake District 200 years ago and the changes that William and Dorothy Wordsworth witness in their lifetime.

My *vase of daffs are making me sad… cut down in their formatives. *stolen beer glass. They were cut down for nothing more than to brighten up my day. They failed through no fault of their own but it’s naff. Naff Daffs no less. Sorry Wordsworth but yours were living their best lives.
