It has been a workshop week, preparing for our big event next week in Wiltshire where we shall be transforming a marquee into a forest! I have nearly lost a finger and cemented Tinkerdog to the floor whilst trying to build the structures of the trees but they are coming along, it's very frustrating when the only obstacle stopping you from achieving something is not being strong enough.
This morning I left sunny Edinburgh.. yes SUNNY Edinburgh, at 5am and headed up to Blair Atholl for an early meeting with the organisers of Blair International Horse Trials where Tattie Rose's flowers will be all over the arenas, fences and jumps. It was so beautiful crossing the Firth when there is only a scattering of cars and that beautiful early calm light. We will be spending 10 days in Blair Atholl in August adorning the equine world with our blooms and I am so excited and honoured to have been asked.
This is a short story because it hurts to type after the uncomfortable grapple between my finger and a hammer but I leave you with a few more reasons to be a Flower Girl...
- You get to visit castles and get driven around like a princess whilst coming up with ideas on how to make the plain, beautiful.
- You get to cook your lunch on a little fire outside your workshop with Brian your neighbour (who has a scary dog that quite fancied Tink and I for its lunch)
- You still get excited about the fact that English stocks are about to come into season (my favourite flower)
- At the end of the day you get to listen to THIS whilst you write to your lovely brides and drink tea.
NEGATIVES
- You may lose a limb trying to cut branches for trees in terracots pots using a jigsawy machine.
