Always. And bonnets apparently. Because of this love/addiction I’ve always spent money on flowers.  Even when I have no money.   A lot of people see it as a waste of cash but picking out, arranging and looking at fresh flowers does more for my mood [...]

Last year I embarked on a project so huge, so satisfying I couldn’t imagine not doing it again. It was a lot of work of course, as most worthwhile projects are, but it paid back in dividends.
