Well the last bit of tinsel has been retrieved from that awkward to reach corner of Open All Flowers shop, and the thermometer has nudged up from 'Arctic to just Freezing' in my florist shop (honestly it really is that cold inside a florists, especially here in Clayton-le-Moors I think it's twinned with some hard to spell town in the Alaskan wastes) well when I say quiet, it's all relative you see, as we have just forgotten the Hurly Burly of Christmas shopping, and are preparing for the Frantic Valentine's day Lovestruck rush, closely followed by the day in March that we daren't forget Motherday. Did I say Quiet?? well in my shop its the  pop, pop, pop of Gorgeous scented Spring bulbs thats breaking the quiet, currently we are overblessed with cheap ways to banish those lingering Winter blues. 

 Santa hard as he tries, sometimes needs a little help....so who ya gonna call ?...well if it ain't Ghost Busters, Santa knows who it is

Mrs Claus is sorted, well Santa is kinda busy that night!!!

So when the sleigh is full and we're counting down the minutes and hours..you know who to call its 'OPEN ALL FLOWERS'

As a local business in Hyndburn (Great Harwood, Oswaldtwistle, Accrington, Rishton, Clayton le Moors) we like to support local clubs whenever we can, Great Harwood Otters swimming club www.otters-swimming-club.co.uk under the guidance of Hyndburns Coach Of The Year Winner Craig Lord, and two fellow fantastic and inspirational coaches Derrick Miller and Elaine Maguire, have gained promotion to the NELF Division One Swimming League.

WELL DONE .. to all the swimmers on gaining promotion.

    GREAT HARWOOD TODAY ..... GREAT BRITAIN TOMORROW..MAYBE??  

              the Congratulation flowers are on there way..

  if you would like your child to join this friendly, competitive yet fun club, please contact a club representative on either 01254 884247 or 01254 351383...  

 Don't know if it's the earlier dark nights or the change in the economic climate, but things seem a whole lot meaner on our streets of late.

I was busying myself with a couple of local deliveries one to Great Harwood and one to Rishton when my door was darkened by these two unsavoury characters....

My daughter (bless) penned this..think she was trying to get across to me how she feels about school and those dreaded SAT's tests, heres her poem

In my little world (perhaps too, in yours) I get the feeling that just as I get on the bus, everybody else is suddenly catching the way way faster 'Euro-bus' (metaphorically speaking, of course....) but technology is leaving me behind !!

I get myself a website and I'm extremely chuffed..but blow me down "have you got a CART" they say.. "you'll need a BASKET" they chirp.. "what where?"..so here's my Accrington florist luddite best, to address my inadequacies.. 

E-SHOPPER DITTY
