We followed the little dusty tracks that led through the fields, which wind about so that eventually you are facing the flowers and they are facing you, and the effect is so joyful and uplifting that even your family hostages begin to break into smiles."
"People, we need this. We need a good news story that we can follow for months with avidity. It's been a while, y'know? Everything I need is already in place: it's a couple I recognise, who seem nice, and in whose existence I am not remotely invested, and the ring is proper. A million dollars' worth of diamond on a silver or platinum or something band (I do not care about bands, I care about diamonds) that Elizabeth Taylor might have deigned to give"
A spontaneous morning trip to Westgate Farm delivered a long-held wish to walk through 16 acres of sunflowers and pick blooms. The family left early, followed dusty tracks through fields of sunflowers that all face the sun, and experienced uplifting, communal joy as even reluctant relatives smiled. Each person picked an allowance of five flowers, which were placed in a large vase and brought home by lunchtime. Separately, the engagement of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce provided a widespread feel-good story, characterized by a lavish diamond ring and public enthusiasm for a long-running celebrity romance.
