We were standing in the shop yesterday when a mysterious, dark haired young man swept in through the door. We both stared at each other and raised an eyebrow as he approached the counter.
'My name is Fedulove, Roman Fedulove, and I am from Russia!'
Then the penny dropped, Roman had ordered a couple of bouquets from us before, from Russia, via the website. His fiance lives in Edinburgh and he is a man that understands the value of flowers from afar!
As nice and unexpected as it was to meet him in the flesh, he really outdid himself by presenting us with a couple of lovely gifts from back home.
We hope you have a great stay Roman and enjoy some warmer weather than you'll be getting on your return.
In other news, the lovely Leona is presently on a boat (SHIP!) cruising the Mediterranean and soaking up the sun and sangria. We're just about coping without her and hopefully will not have throttled each other by the time she gets back ;)
Keeping up the foreign theme, we have just returned from 4 nights in lovely Florence, an amazing city that seems to be home to legions of designer clad men and women but very few florists....perhaps there is a gap in the market for us to start selling our gucci gladioli and prada proteas that we've been developing.
That's all for now, we'll try not to leave the next one so long.
