Today has been curious. Can you remember the footage of OJ Simpson being pursued by helicopters? I've been hounded by the media in a similar way. This is DAFFODILGATE.
I was tempted to jump into the back of my VW with a blanket over my head at one stage. I've been as newsworthy as Jonathan Ross after he slept with Manuel (or whatever it was that he did to him).
We were on BBC Breakfast and the 1 o' Clock News, then ITV arrived this afternoon (and we got a 4x4 stuck when we took them to film the flower cropping and had to be towed out by a tractor). I hoped that I would escape the attention by driving to Yaxley for an appointment but on the way was called by Radio 2 who wanted a live interview at 6.30pm. I'm told that even the One Show were harping on about daffodils tonight.
If you want to hear me talking in a posh voice on Simon Mayo's show then CLICK HERE and listen at one hour and thirty minutes.
Anyway. Excitement is now over and I'm back to being a lonely Fenland troll again, I've got a home-made cottage pie. Is super stardom like this for Jordan and Lady Gaga too?
Great to see you're getting so much attention, hopefully they'll be as enthusiastic about your delphiniums too!
Wow that was a three minute summary of daffodil growing, harvesting, marketing and flower futures.
Simon Mayo? I thought he was dead.
Seriously, though - I'm well impressed!
