SPRING IS IN THE AIR!!! Normally I am not a big fan of models folded from odd shape paper such as hexagons… but there must always be exceptions… like this magnificent daffodil by Ted Norminton (Classic Origami by Paul Jackson, available for less than 10US$ , found diagram also online: www.flickr.com ). Not a real easy model to make but well worth the effort. The video also shows how to make the stem and a nice feature is that it can stand upright on its own! You can still make them from 12 cm squares but better use 15cm or bigger. I did not need the scissors myself of course … Enjoy! ; ) Video Rating: 4 / 5

It is usually considered Wordsworth’s most famous work.[3] In the “Nation’s Favourite Poems”, a poll carried out by the BBC’s Bookworm,[4] “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” came fifth.[5] Well known, and often anthologised, “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” is commonly seen as a classic of English romanticism within poetry, although the original version was poorly reviewed by Wordsworth’s contemporaries. The inspiration for the poem came from a walk he took with his sister Dorothy around Glencoyne Bay, Ullswater, in the Lake District.[6][7] Wordsworth would draw on this to compose “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” in 1804. It was inspired by Dorothy’s writing in reference to this walk:[7] Poems in Two Volumes (1807), in which “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” originally appeared, has been considered to be the peak of … Video Rating: 4 / 5
