Q. The other day I uncharacteristically turned on the Richard

and Judy show. There I saw an extremely handsome farmer, glorying, along with Richard and Judy, about the aesthetic impact on the Worcestershire countryside of his striped rows of delphiniums in pink, purple, lavender and ivory. These are apparently being grown as biodegradable confetti and are welcomed by clergymen where paper confetti is banned. Clearly, the farmer was unpushy, as he failed to give his contact address when pressed for it. Can you help me, Mary, as I would love to buy some for a forthcoming wedding?

B.B., Marlborough, Wiltshire A. The Real Flower Petal Confetti Co. is at www.confettidirect.co.uk and the telephone number is 01386 555045. Incidentally, the handsome farmer who produces it is Charles Hudson, a member of the Worcestershire squirearchy, and the husband of writer Cressida Connolly, daughter of Cyril.
