Daffodils in buckets at $3 per ten, and daffodils are my favouritest flower in the whole world next to sweet peas.*

So I'm buying a few bunches today and a random dude comes up behind me and goes "Ah, daffodils! You must be English!"

Taken aback, I agree that yes, I am indeed English.

"William Shakespeare!" says he. "Beautiful poet! Daffodils!"

"Oh, Wordsworth," I say, because William and daffodils conjours up Beside the lake, beneath the trees &c.

"Yes! William Shakespeare Wordsworth!"

So there you have it. Random encounter with daffodils.



* Closely followed by stargazer lilies, hyacinths, and lilacs, if anyone's keeping track.

I love daffodils! But am not English! Is this a problem with which I should be grappling?

Hey Justin,Great video! Incredibly product cretaion is something I put off for way too long even though in my limited experience it put a ton of paying customers on my list, allowed me to network with some fairly powerful affiliates and added to my bottom line, which is why we are in this game in the first place!Most of my focus is now going into product cretaion and I'd love to become as prolific as you (if that is indeed possible!) so I'm really looking forward to going through your training.DavidDavid Walker recently posted..

Tell me furtivepatch is wrong about the magical fairyland part! Otherwise, it's just all tea and Jane Austen over there. I need fairy incentive to do paperwork.

It's certainly tea over here. I think Jane Austen happens further west.

I could do with some fairy motivation too.

We all have dragons in our tea, naturally. And milk.

Dear Americans,
Please stop pretending England is a magical fairyland. It's a real place.
Sincerely,
Embarrassed for all of us

It's the nearest to magical fairyland I've come across, the natural home for Winnie-the-Pooh, Alice in Wonderland and Jane Austen. But I'm biassed, I've lived in England all my life.

I think that was the first poem I learnt by heart (and probably the first I forgot).

I actually thought it was a German thing. Germans are crazy about them and grow them in their gardens.

A European thing, perhaps? :)
