Annie asked me to read it to you
here tonight, and this is what he wrote.
:18:14
"The flowers of Yorkshire
are like the women of Yorkshire."
:18:18
"Every stage of their growth
has its own beauty,
:18:21
but the last phase
is always the most glorious."
:18:25
"Then very quickly they all go to seed."
:18:28
(laughter)
:18:30
"Which makes it ironic my favourite flower
:18:33
isn't even indigenous to the British Isles,
let alone Yorkshire."
:18:38
"I don't think there's anything on this planet
that more trumpets life than the sunflower."
:18:46
"For me, that's because
of the reason behind its name."
:18:49
"Not because it looks like the sun
but because it follows the sun."
:18:55
"During the course of the day,
:18:57
the head tracks the journey
of the sun across the sky."
:19:02
"A satellite dish for sunshine."
:19:06
"Wherever light is, no matter how weak,
these flowers will find it."
:19:12
"And that's such an admirable thing."
:19:16
"And such a lesson in life."
:19:30
You ran into a gate? How'd you do that?
:19:33
(mumbles)
:19:35
You what?
:19:36
He does a paper round.
It pays for his elocution lessons.
:19:40
Yeah, well, he's bent these good-style.
It'll be... 25 quid that, love.
:19:47
I have to have it.
:19:51
Mum?
:19:57
Ted, would you mind if I borrowed this?
