Nigel ………. The Village International Daffodil Rescue

The first day of our Easter holidays …… and it’s raining!!!!
However, the rain has done nothing to dampen Nigel’s holiday spirit, now resplendent in his Easter t-shirt (a gift from our friends Dianne and Christopher in sunny and romantic Florida),   because ……  he is now a monkey on a mission!!  As you know, he has always shown a keen interest in the daffodils that grown along the verge across the road from Castle Greysquirrel …..
……. because for us, they are the first indicator in the village that spring is finally on it’s way …… but, tempting as they are, Nigel is not allowed to freely avail himself of them, unless they have fallen irretrievably or the stems have broken completely.
So, Nigel in his much mused wisdom has taken on the mantle of becoming “International Daffodil Rescue”, watching diligently from upstairs for any bloom that may falter under the weight of the rain or against the wind  ……
…… to run across the road and “rescue” any in distress .  What is he like?

I assume Nigel doesn't have a deal with someone to "accidentally" break the stems.....

Nigel is one caring (& clever) monkey! The new tee shirt is great, could start a new trend like Christmas jumpers.
