So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Bumper year for florists and gardeners alike

By Ian Fletcher


After a few horribly harsh winters, the British summer has finally been kind to florists in every region. Gardeners have been getting those fingers green for months in one of our warmest summers in years.

The last few months have been packed full of events like the Chelsea Flower Show and the Hampton Court Flower Show and they have all inevitably drawn crowds from all over the country. While these events are frequented by many die hard flower enthusiasts every year, they never fail to gain a number of new fans.

What's more, more and more people seem to be showing an interest in gardening, with a particular emphasis being placed on those wanting to grow their own fruit and vegetables.

Enthusiasm for flowers is always at a high during the summer period and this regularly shows in the level of flower delivery requests across the country. People buy flowers for a multitude of occasions, from anniversaries to birthdays, births to losses, successes and failures, and they are never short of options, especially in the British summertime.

There's always a special occasion in the pipeline - be it an anniversary, birthday or a big summer family get-together - that could call for the gift of flowers. Even if not, bring an extra splash a summer sun into the lives of those near and dear to you by surprising them with a bunch of carnations and daisies, for example.

They are in plentiful supply at this time of year. Some of the loveliest flowers cheltenham has on its high streets can be ordered seven days a week and for more regional flowers Gloucester boasts an incredibly quick turnaround from point of order to delivery.

Another florally fashionable area in the west of England is Hereford. There are small gatherings and flower festivals dotted around the Herefordshire town.

Whisper it quietly, though, because autumn is fast approaching and that means winter is also lurking somewhere in the not too distant. Those long, dark nights and the inevitable cold snap will be upon us before we know it, so make the most of the remainder of the summer months and enjoy the summer flowers while you can.
