Happiness in a bloom



George V, Paris

A friend asked me the other day what makes me happy?

My first thought was flowers, they make me smile. I delight in their fragrance, colour and texture and daydream different ways of arranging my favourites in various vases and urns.

On reflecting, I felt very guilty that my first answer wasn’t …the three wonderful men in my life, or my friends and family, but honestly, I adore flowers they truly make me happy.

There is something about a bowl of fresh flowers home-grown or from the market that makes the whole house come alive and puts a spring in my step as I wander past.

What makes you happy?

The faux flowers at Veranda Home and Garden are extraordinary, pop in and have a look.
