Something wrong with the clip?

Chris:
A while ago I asked John Clarke to give us a talk here at Knapely WI. Annie asked me to read it to you here tonight, and this is what he wrote: "The flowers of Yorkshire are like the women of Yorkshire. Every stage of their growth has its own beauty, but the last phase is always the most glorious. Then very quickly they all go to seed."
[laughter]
Chris:
"Which makes it ironic my favourite flower isn't even indigenous to the British Isles, let alone Yorkshire. I don't think there's anything on this planet that more trumpets life that the sunflower. For me that's because of the reason behind its name. Not because it looks like the sun but because it follows the sun. During the course of the day, the head tracks the journey of the sun across the sky. A satellite dish for sunshine. Wherever light is, no matter how weak, these flowers will find it. And that's such an admirable thing. And such a lesson in life."

And all this.
You read it to me.
"Flowers of Yorkshire are
like the women of Yorkshire."
"Every stage of their growth
is more beautiful
than the last."
"But the last phase
is always the most glorious."
"Then, very quickly,
they all go to seed."
Oh, you.
Cheeky beggar.
Awhile ago,
I asked John Clarke to
give us a talk here
at Knapely W.I.
Annie asked me to read
it to you here tonight.
And this is what he wrote.
"The flowers of Yorkshire are
like the women of Yorkshire.
Every stage of their
growth has its own beauty.
But the last phase is
always the most glorious."
"Then, very quickly,
they all go to seed."
"Which makes it ironic.
My favorite flower isn't
indigenous to the British Isles,
let alone Yorkshire.
I don't think there's
anything on this planet
that more trumpets life
than the sunflower."
"For me, that's because of
the reason behind its name.
Not because it looks
like the sun,
but because it follows the sun.
During the course of the day,
the head tracks the journey
of the sun across the sky.
A satellite dish for sunshine.
Wherever light is,
no matter how weak,
these flowers will find it.
And that's such an
admirable thing.
And such a lesson in life."
