Wow - the verges are singing out a golden song!
"I’m not sure whether the current crisis has slowed everything down and we notice more, or if it is the amazing weather making them glow brilliantly, but the dandelions here in Sheffield are amazing.
Dandelions are so very abundant and their play and therapeutic value is extensive.
Look closely at the complexity and sheer beauty, be astounded by the colour and drift away on the aroma. Even when they have gone to seed the attraction just keeps growing. Explore each fine seed parachute as it is presented in a perfect globe."
Liz Edwards, Muddy Faces director, April 2020
