I recently stumbled across a blog written by an English florist, Simone Pickering and I am smitten. Miss Pickering, as she is more commonly known, is the owner of a “floral emporium” in Stamford and writes daily about her exploits with “the hound.”
By way of introduction her website states that,
“When not working Miss P likes to cook and wear slutty shoes.
The Hound is the resident shop dog.
He likes to greet customers, sleep, and eat roast chicken.
He loves Lily of the valley.
He hates gerbera.”
Her work is stunning, her wit pronounced and her English-ness undeniable. A daily dose of her blog is sure to amuse and inspire and serves to make this English designer a little less homesick.
