Come Autumn you may see a distinguished silver-haired fellow on his knees by the roadside. Do not call Social Services. It is John Lyon, who each year for sixteen years has quietly planted several hundred daffodils and crocuses in our green spaces, with fibre and fertiliser to get them off to a good start. The bulbs are funded by the Residents Association - you. The labour is John's. Over the years they have naturalised and multiplied, like these daffodils by Milbourne Pond. In all John's Spring flowers must number over ten thousand now. And so, a little work for the community here, a little there, turns into a major achievement to delight us all.
