That was very kind - to memorialise a neighbour. smiley - hug And it's a good biography. smiley - smiley

Do you think you could lead in with the daffodils in some way? Say something along the lines of 'every spring, people who live in the ____ area (or who pass by this street, etc) are greeted with a startling display of daffodils, and they remember Sir Derek Bibby'? Not exactly that, but somewhat along those lines? That way, you're leading with the positive aspect. smiley - snowdrop
