I'll talk to OH... it's not "female" only like the walk for life thing is it...  ::)

Open to anyone Saddad.  Len still breeds daffs and has a collection of heritage and rare blooms that he's looking after.  It's just  chance to walk around the fields there now that they no longer cut for the flower trade.  It's really stunning.  I love hearing him talk & he knows all the varieties by sight - although we diasagree on the best blooms - I like the whites and pales, he loves the yellow trumpets.

Cheers

What a lovely idea, wish it was near me. Hoping the day will be a great success as I am sure it will.
