St Blaise

Every year I turn my very dubious flower arranging skills to creating something for the Flower Festival.

I am no flower arranger and quite honestly I'm surprised they keep asking me. But I do love doing it.

Every year we have a theme. This year it was Patron Saints. Not being very well up on my Saints I turned to the internet for inspiration. That's when I discovered St Blaise - Patron Saint of Wool Workers. Well, it had to be didn't it??

However, unable to create a sheep out of my flowers! I did, what I hope is a country style arrangement that might do the job.

In situ, with it's props.

The Flower Festival really is worth a visit. It smells gorgeous & some of the arrangements are stunning. It runs from Thursday 8th to Sunday 11th July, in the church.

Entry is free. Any donations are going towards the repair of the bell tower. A worthy cause if you ask me - I miss those bells.

All their products are natural, containing no parabens, lanolin or artificial fragrances. They don't test on animals...

No peace for the wicked Yesterday afternoon there was the most awful noise coming from outside the shop. It sounded just like one of those animal sounding toys that children have.The one where you tip it one way and then the other and it moo's or bleats. Anyway, it went on, and on! So I opened the door ready to have a quiet word with a small child perhaps in the square, when I spotted a Land Rover parked opposite. On further investigation I found it was full of protesting geese & ducks. Their owner was having a lovely leisurely lunch in the Tally Ho,...
