Old English Suffolk Accent and Dialect - Words and Phrases - Daffydowndilly
The word for this video is Daffydowndilly (and Daffydamdilly) which is the old English Suffolk dialect word for Daffodil. A word that's been around for hundreds of years here in Suffolk, East Anglia. A word that is a part of the old language and history of this region, and is still used today by those of us who still speak the old way. Thanks for watching. x

Thank you my dear, and for spying all my little treasures 💚 Lovely to hear you’ve heard that the Swallows are here already, though no sign where I am yet. It’s still so chilly here, us humans and birdie friends need some warmer days! 🌼🌞🌿 🪺

Thank you for your kind words. It saddens me that the Essex accent has met the same fate as the Suffolk one. They should never have been lost.
Also we’d talk about dafs, daffies or daffy-dillies, but daffydowndillies was our ‘long form’.

I can be daft at times.
