A brief escape....

Whilst the shop is busy with queues of romantic men, I escaped to The Bridge at Mount Batten yesterday morning to enjoy a 'Ladies That Lunch' debut! Joined by a group of lovely ladies, I taught a few floristry basics which the ladies will be able to use again and again around the house and to create little gifts of garden bunches for friends. To keep up with our goings on, and for future events and workshops, then keep reading our blog and follow us Facebook and twitter....

Country bunch!

We thought this was so gorgeous it deserved a picture! 

This years first ranunculus, gorgeous blue and white veronica, blue hyacinth and clematis.

Cold and a bit damp today, this would certainly cheer us up if we received it on such a miserable day. A day, in fact, that we should be curled up in front of roaring log fire with a huge mug of hot chocolate, a slice of cake and a good ol film.

The start to a fab year....for the 60th time!

So! Happy New Year and all that! We seem to have been extremely slack in our blogging since Christmas - but! We are back with a vengeance! This year is our 60th anniversary and we are jam packed full with exciting ideas to help us celebrate!

It must be on its way!

Its official! The Coca Cola advert has been on the telly and so, it is officially nearly Christmas! I do find this somewhat concerning however, not a single purchase has yet been made for the big day! I can feel the annual Christmas panic flooding over me already! 

Anyway! We have set up our Christmas page for you to have a browse and purchase for all your friends and family! 

This year, we have also decided to attempt a Christmas Wreath Making workshop! Having never done this before, we have no idea how this is going to go! But we think it will be a fun filled afternoon, and we already have lots of brave people signed up! So if you fancy joining us, just call or email the shop in the contact details at hwattsflorist.co.uk

An autumnal day of weddings....

This weekend was a mixture of creams, soft pinks and blues. Three weddings was a bit of a rush after a quieter October, back to the swing of rushing around like headless chickens! 

The weather was gorgeous too, for an English October day, bright blue sky with a fresh nip to the air, bet there was thermals under those white dresses!!

A monthly affair

I must apologize that my blogging seems to have become somewhat of a monthly affair. I started so keen posting almost daily, and now with the trials and tribulations of the day to day florist shop my daily online diary seems to have been put to the back of my mind. Particularly I must add with these winter evenings drawing in. I seem to have become somewhat of a hermit cuddled in my cardigan and thick woolly socks in front of Doc Martin with a warm pudding and its only October! I am dreading the Christmas meal at this rate, my winter spread is already appearing...

So I am simply confirming that we've not closed down or disappeared on a foreign exotic adventure, we've simply been busy. The efforts of this busyness are displayed below...

Weddings, events and just lovely bouquets, we have been busy bees! 

Winter pansies have started along with lovely autumnal shades of rich reds and oranges, it makes me feel not so bad about wearing my aran cardi and joules thick socks now the autumn is properly here and the leaves are falling off the trees! 

Enough of my rabbiting! You are up to date on Watts happenings. Back soon with the next update!
