Mid-Winter Blues

Say "No" to Mid-Winter Blues

It's mid winter, the cold weather is setting in, the selection of flowers available isn’t great and the prices are high. Schools are on holiday and business is quite. Petrol goes up this week and Madiba is still on life support. Can you just imagine the deluge of positivity that is going to feature in the media this week?

I’m not buying into it. We’re going to have a good news week at Country Flowers. Let’s celebrate winter, plan for spring which is 9 weeks away. Celebrate the life and times of Madiba, how lucky we are to have had the pleasure of sharing our country with such an icon. Who was so wise, level headed and generous! Yes the petrol price will have a detrimental effect on our disposable income, so let’s share cost saving ideas and spread the word of places that offer good value for money. On the flower front I’m going to bring you some great ideas that only use a couple of flowers and make a great impact and let’s not forget flowers last longer in winter.

The truth of the matter is that we are for the most part going to live through this; how I do it is entirely up to me. I think a day without a laugh, a smile or a kind word is wasted and I’m not sure how many I’ve got left so I may as well make each one count.
