Today is my eldest bud’s last ever day at school! 🄹😱

The fact is I think I’m totally cool with it….the reality…I’m not sure I am šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

I’ll just remind myself how much I hate school runs, school admin and lunch boxes and breath a sigh of relief that’s nearly done šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Shout out to the parents and kids and rallying support for end of term-itus whilst aaaaall the shows, payments, trips and whatever else is thrown in before they finish! I tell you now if there’s a fancy dress costume to sort I’m gonna flip šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

You couldn’t have asked for more perfect surroundings or June sunshine today!

If you asked me if I liked purple, I’d say no….but then if you said what about pinky purple…well then I’m in absolute LOVE!

Ever have a day where you just feel totally overwhelmed? Yea me too….usually 3 days before any wedding or event I’m flowering šŸ˜‚

Come on fellow suppliers, it’s not just me right?

It’s this crazy adrenaline filled mix of excitement, anticipation and nerves!

Everything is about to get prepped and final details are being tweaked! Extra staff are being guided and given the plan, flowers are arriving…will they all be right when I open the box!!!??? I’m on the start line waiting for what feels like forever for the starting gun knowing once I’m off it’s time sensitive and there’s no down time so that everything is as perfect as possible! And then it’ll be over just like that šŸ’•

And everyone thought it was just the happy couple who got pre wedding jitters…I’m right here with you guys šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

Oh and on top of that I seem to be enjoying a few hot flushes this morning, plus a gorgeous flutter of orders have come in that need to go out today too, thanks Budders.

What a ride šŸ˜‚

Wooowee, I’ve had to close orders for today I’m afraid Budders!

I’ve allocated all my flowers before a new delivery tomorrow aaand I’ve got a wedding this weekend to prep for and final bits to collect from around the county.

I’ll also be out setting up on Saturday morning so please keep it in mind that if you’re wanting a bouquet, order in advance.

My neighbours at Michael Anthony estate agents are so wonderful and will often look after flowers for you to collect from theirs in my absence. Always a work around so you still get your flower fixes Budders.

Oh and foot note…these were the last guaranteed peonies of the season so enjoy this virtual bunch until we see them in abundance again next year.
