SIR - May I, through your paper, send a huge, heartfelt thank you to all the plucky men and women who went out on to the freezing streets of Sidmouth on Saturday, March 5, to collect for the Marie Curie Cancer Care Daffodil Collection? Special thanks to the ladies at Coles Newsagents who were all dressed for the occasion!

With their help and the generosity of those who bought a daffodil, we broke our record once again and collected over �1,000! Your enthusiasm – and silly hats! – was really appreciated.
