Then I could never remember their real names and had a ridiculous conversation with another florist on the morning of a friend's wedding trying to establish which corsage was for which Gran, and of course the real name eluded me, and amazingly that florist didn't know what an extra terrestrial was!MrsC (Maryanne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14440723067459232998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-31374450451363874302014-02-27T19:27:58.264+00:002014-02-27T19:27:58.264+00:00Here, the wild daffodils and snow drops are insist...Here, the wild daffodils and snow drops are insisting that spring is here.<br />We need to remember the last frost is in march.
