Pick flowers for a good cause? The annual Daffodil Festival in Carterton is one such event that gives visitors the opportunity to pick daffodils at a farm called Middlerun for a small donation per bunch going to local charities. The event continues in town with food trucks and market stalls selling local arts and crafts. We set off at around 11am and the rain got heavier as we made our way to Gladstone.


Despite the cold and wet weather, visitors still turned up in rain gear and gumboots.



There weren't many left by the time we got there lol



Children's imagination at work as they start to place a stalk on their nose and pretend to be an elephant.



Fresh flowers in the house makes a difference eh?
