Daffodil Walks for Macmillan - Cheshire
« on: March 31, 2010, 15:02:59 »
Hi All,

Long time no post, but this is for charity so...

Once again, our friends at Foxwist Green Farm Whitegate are opening their daffodil farm fields to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Care.  It's a stunning thing to see and Len is a hoot.

Please pass on the info to anyone else you know in the area.  Thanks  ( There's a lovely pic that goes with this but I can't post it - my avatar was taken a few years ago in one of their fields so that should give an idea of what to expect)

Went through Whitegate the other day & saw the sign. What a pretty village.
