I was horrified about that 27,000 miles figure as well. I don't suppose it's 100% accurate, but it doesn't really need to be, does it? I admit I have been in the habit of sending people bouquets of cut flowers for occasions, but I have decided it will have to stop unless they are sourced in the UK. Not that it's easy to know. Even a lot of those daffs aren't grown in the UK. Someone sent me a wonderful bunch of fragrant roses from a company that made a lot of their old fashioned Hampshire garden - but when I looked them up they had the old fashioned garden OK but also a farm in Kenya that they don't make so much of a song and dance about.
