Miss Pickering: June 2014
http://misspickering.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
It is that time of year, I neglect everything bar the flowers. And it seems as though my shop and inbox are full of people wanting career advice on how to be a florist. I really love flowers" they say. And my retort is normally "if only that were enough". Is there an official line on a proper reply? Something inspiring without sounding like a grumpy old woman? But still making sure people know it isn't really like Instagram would have you believe? Posted by Miss Pickering. Links to this post. And sometim...

Miss Pickering: Christmas Wreath Workshop in aid of Farm Africa
http://misspickering.blogspot.com/2014/11/christmas-wreath-workshop-in-aid-of.html
Christmas Wreath Workshop in aid of Farm Africa. On the 4th of December we are hosting a Christmas Wreath workshop at Browne's hospital Broad Street Stamford. The above painting dated 1870 is the room we are using. You can't beat a bit of history. You will make your own wreath on a traditional brass ring, with moss, and heaps of mixed foliage. Followed by a fork supper provided by The Stamford Deli. And a chance to hear about and see photographs from my trip to Tanzania. Posted by Miss Pickering.

Miss Pickering: Hold on tightly let go lightly
http://misspickering.blogspot.com/2014/12/hold-on-tightly-let-go-lightly.html
Hold on tightly let go lightly. I have tried to write this post so many times and failed. The Hound passed away last week, he became very poorly very quickly, and i had to make the decision that was right for him but is haunting me. I had a day off today, which it turns out is entirely the wrong thing to do, so it is back to the 18 hour days of wreaths and trees and weddings. Distraction. Thank you to the staff at Stamford Veterinary Centre. I am so lost without him. Posted by Miss Pickering. So, so sorr...

Miss Pickering: April 2014
http://misspickering.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
The flowers have changed. It is late Spring early summer now. The hyacinths and bulbs seem out of place, only a few varieties of tulips remain, the parrots though, the best ones, and suddenly everything is taller, and i need new vases . I always need new vases. At the weekend The Americans. Came, and Lotte. Came down from Glasgow and we talked of flowers, and ate asparagus pizza. It was all rather wonderful. I have been on all the forums, but would love some more first hand experiences. Links to this post.

Of Speculoos and Guy Bourdin. Bonne année and all that jazz. Firstly, thank you for all of your wonderfully caring comments on the passing of The Hound. I cried all day everyday throughout December, customers cried with me, people who i have never spoken to put their head round the door to say how sorry they were, remembering him from his antics in the farmers market or as a regular fixture in the Tobie Norris. The first cut is the deepest. In amongst all the tears and despair i have managed to fit in.
