......Sara has just called from Dublin, to see if I can hunt out some flats for them on the internet, so she can arrange to view them when she is in London in a couple of weeks time. There are hundreds of them advertised, and what with having to finish off her jobs for Citi, and packing too, poor old Sara is feeling a bit overwhelmed. John is no doubt just as anxious as it is a huge upheaval for him too.
However....I have also had a nice surprise this morning....all the way from China, via Lichfield and Interflora.....
Rainbow Roses, 12 of them in a glass vase. I've never seen anything like them before and think that close up they are absolutely beautiful. BUT...wait for it....try looking at them as a whole, and at a bit of a distance....
....They look to be well past their best, and have no foliage at all, nothing like the pictures on the internet. So after a few tears and a feeling of been so ungrateful for such a wonderful present. We rang Interflora and complained.
This afternoon a different florists shop rolled up with these beauties....
.....the guy looked really shocked when I showed him the first bunch, but these are simply lovely
Autumn....in one big beautiful armful.....and the smell....I have been carrying them round with me from room to room just so that I don't miss any of it.
And whats this I see?
Blimey...It's a good job I'm sitting down.
