A pop of yellow to brighten up the month of mellow
Every January our hearts dance with the daffodils just as Wordsworth penned...
So fortunate feel we to be graced with a glorious battalion of gold in Cornwall as early as December that we were compelled to share the delight.
So we sent a handful of daffs to some of our media friends based in London, where daffodils would not likely bloom until at least March. Our aim was for a box of sunshine to land on what is labelled the most depressing day of the year, ‘Blue Monday’. This year that date was Monday 16th January.
Naturally daffodils are also delicately vased up for The Nare’s guests to enjoy whilst here. One will be delighted to see and smell the heady floral scent of these narcissi whilst in the hotel.
It would be uncouth not to share some of the feedback we received. It was such a pleasure to share a small piece of rural Cornwall with those in the city during what is typically a rather depressing period.
