Wow and wow again, it's got to be well over 30 years since my last visit to our capital, words fail me !!! the place is simply buzzing no sign anywhere I visited of  a 'credit crunch', or cut backs, this place was full on, all of the time, my legs ached and my neck it did crane at all the sights, I have crammed in the entire touristy thing  and it was an awesome experience...

BUT boy am I glad to be back, my shop was bare and the  flower stand looked sad and sorry.....woosh the Dutch did call and normality was restored...for all its grand sights London has a long way to go to beat a flower shop fit to burst with finest fresh flowers.. Just My Opinion of course..     

 Your Local Community Needs You !!.

 I heard and heeded the call, after all it's a good feeling to give back(community wise), I'm now involved in my local competitive swimming club,"The Great Harwood Otters" by virtue of my daughter aspiring to be the next Rebecca Adlington ( Great Harwood today, Great Britain tomorrow....thats one of mine they haven't adopted the slogan as yet, don't think they quite know how to take me just yet. )  

Of all the questions I as a florist gets asked one pops up more than most,  "which side should I wear my buttonhole or corsage on, and does it face up or down ?", Ummmmm !!, not an exact science as regional variations sometimes come to the fore on this one, but as a general rule and this handy rhyme may help...Men should be ' LEFT ' to pay,

                            and Ladies are always ' RIGHT ' 

So there you have it men on the left, and ladies on the right, now here's the rub............personal preference often takes over and throws my rhyme a curve ball, ladies sometimes prefer to attatch their flower on their left shoulder(sometimes because they are right handed and its easier to pin in, or just because the car seat belt wont crush it if your the driver of the car!!, this seatbelt rule works for the Gent too.), as for which way up it should face, dont get me started on that one!!!  Soooooooooo try not to get caught up in the detail,  and enjoy the day.

 Flozzie not in the dictionary yet....but i think it should be , after all there is enough of us...."Enough what of us"  i hear you say, ....welllllll "people who appreciate and love flowers, " if you can have a Foodie (a person who loves and appreciates food) then surely the world of floristry can have Flozzie's, a whole bunch (collective term for a group of us),

Every fortnight Ramsdens call(a vital service, most appreciated by all), van sales like this one are a common site outside florist shops the length and breadth of our fair Isle, please don't curse their girth as they may sometimes impede the flow of traffic, on the roads around your area......just look at the stock they carry...it's like a tardis in here..
