I’ve said it before (and I’ll probably say it again 😅)… once you’ve been doing this for a while, and at my age, you definitely get a bit more repetitive!

But even now, I still get asked to make things I’ve never done before — and I love that. This was my very first Barber’s Pole! 💈

The red looks darker in the photo than it really was, but I was honestly so pleased with how it turned out. Even better? The customer loved it. 🙌

At the end of the day, it’s all about the people we create for. Without you, there’s no us — and we never forget that. ❤️

If you have, or are lucky enough to anytime between now & summers end, do all florists (yes, apparently there are others!) a favour.

I know it's all about the beautiful array of summer flowers right now - the peony this year are stunning - but I will admit it was lovely to make this hand tied today in such rich, cheerful colours. 🧡💛

Solent from First Bus has launched four converted electric buses in #Portsmouth, #Fareham and #Gosport. Former diesel vehicles, now fully refurbished and fitted with electric engines by Wrightbus, offer a cost-effective, eco-friendly alternative to new electric buses. This follows the electrification of the Hoeford depot and the earlier introduction of 62 electric buses, supported by Portsmouth City Council, #Hampshire County Council and DfT funding.

The repowered buses will run across the region, including university routes, helping cut emissions and improve air quality. By reusing existing vehicles, First Bus reduces waste and environmental impact. The initiative is part of a wider plan to achieve a fully zero-emission fleet by 2035, with 32 conversions underway across the UK.

Local leaders welcomed the move as a smart, sustainable step toward affordable, greener public transport.

The image shows two modern double-decker buses parked side by side. Both are painted in a vivid blue and feature sleek front designs with large, angled windscreens. The name “Solent” is prominently displayed at the top front of each bus in white text on a dark background, just above the electronic display panels. The bus on the left is marked with fleet number “71004” and registration “CMZ 5304”, while the one on the right is “71002” with plate “CMZ 5302”. They are parked on a tarmac surface under a cloudy sky.

This image shows the rear of a blue electric double-decker bus at a charging station. The bus is connected to a nearby charging unit by yellow cables plugged into the side of the vehicle. In the background are leafless trees and several parked vehicles, including a white car. The sky is overcast with a pale grey hue. The bus has two rear windows and displays several logos and identification numbers. An advert for “Pregnacare”, featuring a seated woman, is displayed on the back. The area is surfaced with concrete and marked with painted lines.

It's been a beautiful few days for flowers and colours; plus we've made up a lot of baskets too which is most unusual. I've included a few :)

A mix of peach roses, gerbera and tulips with some cream narcissus nestled among a bed of silvery eucalyptus and dark green ruscus leaves.

A cross section of a floral heart tribute showing the peach and yellow roses used in the spray, along with some grasses, yellow chrysanthemum and gyp.

A mixture of pink lisianthus, purple trachellium, veronica and clematis, amidst blue gentiana, white antrrhinum, pink alstromeria and chrysanthem with blue eryngium, asparagus fern and pussy willow buds.

A stunning trug basket of varying shades of blues, including oxypetalum, gentiana, eryngium and delphinium, complemented by yellow freesia, carnations and chrysanthemum, among silvery eucalyptus and dark green ruscus.

What is it worth?

A 2 dimensional grey elephant, it's head turned slightly to the left, it's tail swishing, it's ears opened with tusks long and sharp, a trunk not far from the ground, looking for food stands against a white backdrop. This is not a real-life elephant though but one which has been created from flowers.

Last week's Electoral Calculus and Find Out Now MRP model poll has likely been upset by a shift against #ReformUKLtd since then, but it predicted Sunak, Shapps, Mordaunt, Badenoch, Patel, Braverman, Truss, Cleverly, & Hunt all losing their seats.

We will not have this #SunakMoment now.

In particular, it was RUL's strength in #Richmond & #Northallerton, and in #Fareham that would have seen the CUP vote split enough to lose Sunak and Braverman their seats.

Throwback to our protest outside Suella Braverman MP 's constituency office in Fareham. A member of staff recorded our shindig from inside but we never got a copy of that 🙁
