24 little hours.
I am going with Rod Stewart's version.
Yesterday i wore high heels, and big sunglasses, and took my fringe out for lunch.
Today the mists have rolled in, and I hate my fringe. Curly hair and a fringe is high maintenance. And i don't do high maintenance.
Certain people have just spat their coffee out at that statement.
Whatever. Thank you for returning my sister in one piece.
Thus far today, i have a curly fringe, broken 2 vases, had an awkward conversation with a customer, and fallen out with the postman. The Hound looks on with a knowing smile "I told you we should have stayed in bed today"
But if we had, we wouldn't have ranunculus. All florists are banging on about them i know, but we are fickle creatures, next week there will be something else, but i am not ready for peonies.
Nor would we have just discovered this blog has been listed somewhere most extraordinary, in the company of people i admire a lot. My comments about Amnesia Roses are forever in print.
Nor would i be able to say, are you coming to Luella's? We shall be there on Monday evening. Join?
Whilst we are having a little chat, people keep asking questions, and i keep forgetting to answer them. So
No, yes, I'm sorry i haven't a clue, Rutland museum shop, Why would you want silk ones?, definitely, I'm not that sort of girl.
Select whichever answer you like.

p.s. I am still very very much in love with Raymond Blanc.

More choked on than spat...
But it's fine as I counted the petals in the photos to calm down.
How strange that you feature these ranunculus today. While at market yesterday, I saw some just like this. I thought of you....and The Hound. It was very, very cold. I wondered if you were at market also, I also wondered if The Hound may have needed a blanket. Then I wondered if you may have needed a Puffa jacket. Then I thought no, Miss Pickering would never wear a Puffa jacket, never. Then I proceeded to purchase narcissi, hyacinth, tulips and stocks. My thoughts then turned to a hot cup of tea.
Stunning ranunculus by the way. Have a good day in the shop!
as a fellow curly-top and fringe wearer i can vouch for the fact that the combo can be deadly. if you don't keep your wits about you you can suddenly find yourself looking like this http://bit.ly/igjPK7
Isn't that my ranunculus picture?
Every time I write ranunculus, I say to myself, 3 u's. I have a hard time with boutonniere also.
I have thin stick straight hair. I would swap problems in a heartbeat.
So what kind of girl are you?

When facing problems with fringes and frizz, curby grips are your friend. A quick twist back and secure with a grip and voila! no more curly fringe!
Yup, fringe curl here too. Apart from mine curls under so I get a page boy smartie tube fringe. Wrong.
P.s I am always ready for peonies.
Pps got flowers from a client and it had lillies and a crysanth in it. I have separated roses and added herbs to create niceness and the eucalyptus is in the spare room.
Miss Pickering,
I am trying to imagine the combination fringe/curl gone wild and it does not inspire...
It does make me smile though. And it makes me dread my hot and humid summer-to-be,soon enough in these parts.
I wish I knew even a tiny, pinky's worth about flowers as you and Jane do....bah.
Love the new tag line picture thingie. I note the inclusion of 'love' as well as life and gin.
Do tell all.
Miss P - love the ranunculas and the header looks great. Shame about the fringe...maybe bigger sunglasses?!Sinead
Ah Mrs P the ever problematic fringe! I too have curls -- they just have their way with me ad I have ventured further and further away from the fringe. It somehow only looks lovely on that very first day...nothing high maintenence for me either...wishing for a better tomorrow x
