The Lion's month

It has been weeks...
And so much has happened.
So to start, a Midsummer Night's Dream party in Wiltshire. It was absolutely amazing in every way. The people who helped where fantastic and fun, the situation was beautiful nestled in the Wiltshire Deverills, the client was what every flower girl dreams of and the flowers... well though I say so myself and I probably shouldn't, were fabulous. Trees on the tables, made with our own fair hands, full of wild dog rose, pink hydrangeas, roses and foxgloves. The tent poles were wrapped in honey suckle and rambling roses and then scattered with foxgloves. A huge wall of beech divided the marquee and it felt like you were sitting in a forest.
We were photographed at work by the brilliant Julie Davenport. Her photographs are stunning and she put us all at ease as we were shot for a project of hers which will be appearing shortly.
Tink and I headed back up North and recieved a surprise phonecall inviting us to do flowers at the London 2012 Olympic Games. A huge honour to have been asked, a massive task to undetake and a big decision to make. Unfortunately due to all the commitments in August and a slight Geographical hurdle and the annoying inability to be in two places at the same time I have had to turn down the opportunity.. BUT, how many people get to turn down the Olympics?! (positive thinking)
This week our flowers adorned Archer's Hall in Edinburgh for the Royal Week Cocktail party, I think they were pleasantly surprised by the lack of soft ruscus and crysanthemums as I filled the arrangements with delicious blue hydrangeas, delphiniums and phlox. We passed the test and have been invited back next year.


And so the rain continues to poor, I continue to explore and find out more about this city they call 'Auld Reekie'.
