This is why I am glad I married Simon.
I thought I was buying 25 'Mount Hood' daffodil bulbs. But by mistake I went on the wrong page for that variety and bought 25 kilos. I didn't realise what I'd done until a huge sack of bulbs arrived. When, feeling pretty stupid, I phoned to tell Simon, he didn't call me an idiot, or say that I shouldn't expect him to help me plant them, or that I should send them back. No, he just laughed and laughed, and said that it looks as though we'll be having lots of daffodils next spring.
Next year we will have been married for 25 years. It won't be our silver anniversary, it will be our daffodil anniversary.
