It all began 18 years ago when l felt a need for a complete career change, l took a deep breath and enrolled on a 3 year floristry course, and offered to work for a well known thriving busy florist for 12 months with no pay !

The dedication payed off and l had at last found a career that fulfilled everything within me.

I passed my course with distinctions (much to my parents delight who had, had to wait 30 years to be able to add me to their brag book !)

My work placement gave me a job and at last a wage ! phew .

At this point l need to thank my long suffering husband and sons for always being there and supporting me ( The early mornings and late nights, endless chippy teas and last minute washing of football kits ! )
