Friday Favourites - Flowers


Flowers are a cheap and easy way of adding colour to you home, They are pretty and bright and can add a sense of fun to a room. Flowers always make me feel better, depending on my mood is dependent on what colours I will buy. The one thing I always love though are tulips. A lot of people and even florist don't like tulips but I do, I love the colours and the shape and I love that as they get older the tips get whiter. With the exception of roses and lilies flowers can last almost 2 weeks and I've even had bunches that just refuse to wilt. Tulips are my number one choice and then I like roses but as I just said they don't really last as long. I'm a strong believer in getting value for money so the longer they last the happier I am.


If they are bought for me as a gift, as a surprise from my husband or if I just buy them myself as a little treat, they are one of my loved in my home. I've even bought plants on occasion, I just have no green thumb so they die pretty quickly. Supermarkets offer a wide choice of flowers now and though they are still seasonal there are a lot that you get all year round. a £5 bunch now and then is a worth expenditure too add the smell and colour and life to my home.

Lists - What I am Grateful for

My amazing network of friends
My job and all the people I work with
My flat, the space that is my own
My Husband, who is better than he thinks
My family
That everyday the sun comes up
The colour puple
My childhood, as I was allowed to be a child
To be an auntie to all the amazing children in my life, but to be able to give them back at the end of the day
Freshly cut grass, Freshly washed Laundry, and lots of other smells
That most people I know are in good health and those who arn't make up for it with great humour
My car, my freedom to go where I want and when
My skin, which is not as bad as I like to make out
Electricity, for without it I would get bored
Books, for they are a staple in my life
The way my life has turned out, as it could have been far far worse!
