Daffodils

Yesterday I crossed the Tamar to Millbrook. It is daffodil harvest time in Cornwall. From here comes somewhere in the region of 30% of all the daffodils sold in the UK, clearly an important crop. If you enlarge the picture you will see the River Tamar in the background.
A few years ago there were allegations of very poor treatment of the foreign migrant flower pickers under the "gangmaster" system, - illegally low wages, substandard accommodation, even breaches of child labour regulations. It seems that these issues have been put right. For a very positive view of their experience, take a look at this very short film made by some Polish workers near Penzance.
