Meddling

May 11, 2011 at 7:36 pm 4 comments

The next few weeks are going to be busy – packed with weddings, fairs, meetings and post-it notes on the fridge reminding me to eat. I am not good with stress, being by nature a flapper (not the cloche-hat type) and naturally shaky of hand. At the height of a panic, you can often find me muttering to myself – not because I’m about to have a breakdown so much as because I need to keep telling myself to slow down and stop worrying about things that might never happen. (Neither message sinks in, of course.)

But worse than the rush is the anticipation of the rush.

A few days ago a friend pointed out to me that you couldn’t  click on the photos on my website to expand them to a size where you could actually see what the flowers were like. So, acknowledging that he was absolutely right and in an attempt to distract myself from meddling with my to-do lists, I started to update it. Big mistake! I have completely mucked it up, can’t work out how to get it to do what I want and can’t get it back to how it was.  And I don’t know when I’ll have time to sort it out (especially as - on top of everything! - the Apprentice is now calling to me from the iPlayer…). So if you have arrived here from my Under Construction page, apologies. Please scroll down through the blog posts to see some pics – ones that click into proper big ones!

      Aw, don’t worry – we have all felt the same! Sometimes when I go to the wholesaler for sundries I look at all the long, straight-stemmed flowers bunched up in packs, all conditioned and perfect, and I wonder why I bother with the growing. But once you produce your first bunch of beautiful flowers which are not available at the wholesaler and which have got there without chemicals, air miles or employee exploitation, you will feel amazing! x
