Festive Flowers

I don't often get cut flowers these days but as I was near the florist I popped in and got some . I know him  and his wife well - he  is usually very busy doing wreaths for funerals but he always has time to stop , chat  and cheer me up - he has been a good listener in much sadder times . Well today it was ::~ Christmas , his d i y work and the bark for my garden  then home for more jobs to get done .
