The finger post fairies ( sorry Mr Thistle Cottage) have been busy. From a sorry sad sight to sparkly again! Hmm not sure if we will need the flood signs again anytime soon!

Not being particularly techy, I’ve only just discovered I can see who my customers are and how many visits they’ve made on my payment device. ( Basically I’m procrastinating about the weekend bucket wash 😱) I’m blown away by how many lovely, loyal customers I have—shoutout to Alex Ffrench for being the top visitor so far!
(Of course, this doesn’t include those of you who pay by cash—you’re just as appreciated!)

The sunflowers are loving this weather and are coming thick and fast. Therefore I will be wheeling the stand out tomorrow with bunches of 5 available for £5. Pop by if you would like a bunch.

It’s been go, go,go, this week prepping for Brightling Flower and Dog Show. The weather forecast looks perfect, no rain and not too hot and Tower field, Brightling is a beautiful setting. Perfect way to spend a Saturday afternoon.
Hope to see you there. Saturday 18th - gates open at 1.30pm.

This weekend, due to the heat, I won’t be putting all the flowers out on the stand at once—but I’ll be topping up throughout the day. If you find the stand empty, just give me a bell.

Following on from yesterday, the flowers have had a good condition and I’ve arranged, wrapped and they are ready on the stand for you. Which will be most popular, the lemons or the pinks?
