lovely to see you back..
one question..
how on earth can a lawn be so neat and beautiful with a hound on it?
my unruly lot would have raced and churned it up in seconds...
lawn envy

It is the lawn of The Mother Hen and The Captain.
We stayed there for a couple of weeks.
The Hound scarifies it for them......

Please, please, don't stop . . the number of espresso shots would seem to be what's keeping you going but there is a distinct lack of cake in that list. Maybe that is the problem? Or maybe the lack of Freddie Flintoff.
Mine is too much cake and no coffee.

Oh my, I recognise this, fallout from "The Wedding Season." My hugs to us emotionally and physically drained floristas everywhere...
Please don't stop blogging! Your photos and humor brighten my day.
Don't stop blogging - oh no!
Olympics - addicted. But why are male gymnastic athletes so short? PS - GB was robbed! Our USA guys- epic fail!
Speedos - some of the divers make me blush!
Also....number of times thought Olympic flowers were crap and small - 3
Not to rush in and make this all about me Becca BUT wasn't I just on vaca on the Cape?
Blue/ white striped tshirts, white jeans ( try on in slightly larger size, no need for tears)cute sundresses and flip flops, straw fedoras, lots of bracelets on one wrist, I ramble.
As for you Miss P., I thought you were off on a secret holiday with a admirer.
Every photo is my favorite.
Stop poking yourself in the eye, you're far too important to us.

Oh no, you can't stop blogging! No way! I am planning a trip to England to come and visit your lovely florist shop (amongst other things, like going to a wedding or something) - purely based on your wit, charm and photos on this blog.
No way , you can never ever ever stop blogging, you would not believe how much joy you bring to my days. I have given up twice and come back twice for the encores, I thought about giving up again about 300 times this week because owning a gallery in a seaside town and trying to keep up with every other sodding thing is a nightmare but reading your post tonight sums up everything great about blogging humour, a voice, the world is a much smaller place with all us bloggers around and a whole lot more interesting for us nosy folk. From one stalker to another and another and another, cos we all are really..... don't go xxxx
Do not stop blogging.
Do carry on being a(n evil) genius.
I agree about the swimmers and divers but HELLO MALE GYMNASTS. Good lord, they make my undercrackers shake.
Shall I speak to my friend who does the Boden PR and see if I can rectify your dress situation?
Don't stop blogging! I'm from Australia and I adore reading your blog. Beautiful flowers plus brit humour brighten my day. And yes I agree with Becca the Olympic flowers are completely underwhelming. I expected far more from the land of roses, spring bulbs and cottage gardens! Miss Pickering how about you show us what you would have created???
more on olympic swimmers....in line with the same thought process...thought you would like:
