7 Days and counting

After 20 years with my Scottish spouse I have learnt to tolerate his aversion to all things valentine yet every February I harbour a hope that maybe this will be the year  he finds his inner romance.  He did once present me with 48 red roses -  each individually wrapped in "Bailey's Irish Cream" cellophane (leftovers from a promotional event he had attended that day).  Perhaps this is the real reason I became a florist - the chance to create the kind of bouquets I can only dream of receiving next Thursday should my Mr.
Darcey come calling.

This year I have used the "Premier Cru" of all red roses -  Grand Prix - as the basis for the designs, combining them with deep red fringed Paris roses, miniature spray roses, lilac clematis and the beautiful, delicate and richly coloured, ranunculus "purple heart".   To these I have added tiny eucalyptus with english bay leaves, sage and rosemary for fragrance and texture.

Totally beautiful. I live with a man who has the same aversion to Valentine's Day but doesn't mine celebrating Feb 13th for some reason. Maybe there should be a special non-valentine's day bouquet for all those reticent men out there...

I so nearly made an "anti Valentine's Day" bouquet this year that contained absolutely no red. Maybe next year....

well for all those men who are anti-valentine's day but know they'll never hear the end of it if they don't buy a bouquet, I reckon an anti-bouquet for the 13th would be great!

Electric deep fryers are one of the best choices for people who want to cook their food fast and easy. Another option for deep frying foods at home is the regular stove-top deep fryers. Yet, electric units have several essential advantages over these.
