A peony and a friend



I had a lovely last day with my beautiful team. And I had a surprise delivered to me... A bunch of gorgeous flowers from my boss Leah! As you will see my absolute favourite flower there, the peony, blooming away.

I did smile when these flowers were delivered and wondered whether Leah when making her choice had deliberately chosen the peony for me or it was just pot luck (Leah thinks I am on the mad side with my passion for flowers and relies on me to distinguish the difference between a rose and a gardenia!)

When I rang Leah to thank her she funnily responded by saying she had no idea what a peony looked like but knew it was my favourite! So incredibly thoughtful. 

Makes you sit back and appreciate how lucky you are to meet such fabulous and kind friends like that.  Thank you Leah! x

    What a stunning bunch of flowers and what a sweet boss you have! I can almost smell these. Peonies are my favorites, too, and I'm longing for them a bit as we head into winter here where I live. xoxo

    My Peonies in the garden have just started to show colour - a similar shade of pink.
    To pick or not to pick that is the question!
    Best of luck with your new endeavour - beginnings are very exciting.
    The blog looks great.

    There is nothing nicer than a delivery of beautiful flowers from a friend, is there, Kellie ?
    ..... and what a pretty bunch they are, especially that she remembered that you loved peonys. XXXX
