Ahh a lovely gin & tonic for Valentine's Day!!

I am sitting back and relaxing with a lovely gin and tonic after a busy day getting ready for Valentine's day in the shop.  We've prepared lots of orders ready for delivery tomorrow; made as much as we could until we ran out of stock, ready for an early morning start with a fresh delivery of flowers and foliage.

In other news, I have been rather chuffed with my new ebay purchase. I am just slightly obsessed with vintage china and glass and this week I purchased a beautiful large wash jug in cream, with a pretty green rose print.

 So this week's creation for my local pub, the Nevill Crest and Gun was created in my new purchase.
(Not a great picture i'm afraid, it was a grey, dreary morning before I delivered it.)

Natural flowers in a vintage jug, perfect for a country pub, come summer they will be home grown, even better!

Happy Valentine's Day everybody.

Valentine's Day looming

So the countdown is here, only 2 weeks to go. On a personal level, nothing is obviously ready in the garden to do any bunches to sell, but in The Flower House, where I work, madness will kick in.
So ladies ( and men!) what is your preference, roses or spring flowers?

Personally, spring always wins hands down at Valentine's (come summer, with scented garden roses, well that's another matter!).
