From Valentines to Mothering Sunday

February 17, 2010 on 2:12 pm | In Zara Flora |

So the excitement of Valentine’s Day is over for another year. Zara and Clare have very sore hands and arms now from making so many bouquets but have emerged triumphant. Janet and Marite conditioned, restocked, sold and despatched the flowers, marshalling the men towards the products they needed to earn their brownie points and helping with just about everything. Chris and I whizzed around the highways and byways of Sussex, Surrey and Kent delivering Zara Flora Valentine’s designs and eliciting squeals of pleasure, shy smiles and occasional bemusement from the recipients. And as I write, one of those recipients has just been in to book us for her wedding - thank you Gabrielle. The next big date in the UK florists’ calendar is less than four weeks away - Mothering Sunday/Mother’s Day is on 14th March.
