Jubilations


Back in Edinburgh and rushing about meeting folk wanting flowers having had the most amazing weekend spent with family and friends in Dorset. The hedgerows and verges were stuffed full of the most beautiful wild flowers and cow parsley... Enough to make any florist/flower girl want to crowd surf through them ( would have done it but probably would have ended in tears and a lot of nettle stings) .
We drank, ate and danced our way through the jubilee celebrations, had a tea party that would have put the Mad Hatter's to shame, made a crown for Tink which she wore with pride ( I think, difficult to tell) and stripped the garden making beautiful headdresses with honey suckle, cow parsley, scented tea roses and pale pink clematis, and jars of buttercups and meadow flowers for the tables
Sunday night was spent with Lou Lou, Issy and our mother at Taunton cricket ground rocking our hearts out to the legend that is Elton John who was joined by The 2 Cellos, a pair or hotties from Croatia. It was very wet but very fun.
Left Dorset feeling inspired by the wildness that grows on our doorsteps and full of nostalgia for when we were children and when a pond and a bucket would provide a whole afternoons entertainment, and realising that the simple things make you happy
Also wondered, whilst sitting in Bristol train station people watching, whether living in Bristol meant it was compulsary to have a Justin Lee Collins hairstyle?


Anyway back to Edinburgh and back to work.. lots of exciting enquiries and one big event booked for August. Everyone is busy as the summer (debateable) starts to kick off. We are busy preparing for a big 21st birthday party in a few weeks where we will be transforming a marquee into a forest with trees on the tables and huge wild flower balls hanging from the roof, it's going to be magical.
Feeling a bit like it's Monday when really it's Wednesday, and wishing that it would stop raining and the sun would come out, but happy to have been intrigued.
