Giant Flower Week!
On our delivery this morning were oversize Celosia and the biggest Dhalia we have ever seen! They dont come cheap but they do make quite a statement we think.
Things are busy as ever with 3 weddings last week and another one this saturday. On top of that there's always a healthy amount of buttonholes and corsages to make up for our customers who are off to weddings of their own.
We created a couple of tribute bouquets for the poor fireman who lost his life on Dalry Road last week. Some flowers you're always happy to make up, others you wish you didn't have to.
On a happier note, our dog, Olive, was up and running in the Pentlands this morning, courtesy of Sarah McLean and Citydogs! She takes Olive and a pack of other hounds out in the wild and lets them be themselves for an hour or two. Then very kindly hosed her down so she flopped into her bed all clean and soft and not honking in the slightest!
In Shandon News, Tom Duffin, our neighbour, of X-Sail fame was on the telly last week, promoting his wind powered land yacht on a beach with no wind....not ideal but they did a pretty good job of selling it all the same - just a shame my gran's dead, she would have loved it! You can check out our local celeb here.

I think Tom looks a very handsome chappy indeed - but looking a bit tubby of late - is that because the camera adds an extra 10lbs? If so there must have been 4 or 5 cameras there.
