D is for Daffodil
Their shoots are only showing through a couple of inches at the moment but this was taken in April of last year. Culpepper says "The roots boiled and taken in posset drink cause vomiting and are used with good success at the appearance of approaching agues, especially the tertian ague, which is frequently caught in spring". I think I'll stick to aspirin.
The church is that of St John the Evangelist who I seem to remember protects against poisoning which might be useful when you are boiling roots. The place is the secluded Woodland Valley on the edge of the Lake District.

Excellent decision about hanging with the aspirin. Good post!!
Our daffodils (in the breezy NW as opposed the dog-walker on my photoblog who is in the SW) poked through the snow about a month ago - last year they were blooming before the end of Feb.
Lovely! I can't wait until our daffodils come into bloom along our drive, it always looks so welcoming.
Oh, dear--I think I will stick to aspirin, too--or maybe chicken soup.
