There was a year when a number of residents from a well known and much visited resort got together to plant up one long lane with daffodil bulbs....... as already the village had gained quite a name for itself in "Wales in Bloom" awards.......... but this one lane was devoid of florals and so this effort was much appreciated by many.
Duly they bloomed and were truly a joy to behold, and then during one dark night they were totally, systematically, destroyed by being pulled up by the root................thus ensuring no bulbs would survive for another lovely show.
Did the villagers sit back and moan?Well perhaps in private, but in reality even more floral lovers joined them and repeated the planting, so the following year there was even a greater show.
Other areas including a floral harbourside has been equally destroyed by snipping off the colourful heads,which destroys the scene for that season.
What pleasure can this possibly give anyone?
I do sometimes despair at such wanton behaviour.
