Thank You All So Much For The Lovely Surprise.

What a lovely surprise and I had no idea what so ever. Even when Robert (Bob) asked me to sort out the photos I had no idea why, I guess if I hadn’t been so busy at work and decorating the house for Christmas making wreaths mince pies and Christmas cakes as well as the normal house work I would have had time to think why he was showing so much interest.

Thank you all for the comments I hope my posts can give you all some inspiration, I’m afraid I could bore you silly with all the photos I have. I have such a passion for flowers and art I forget not everyone else has. Robert doesn’t always see my interpretation of a title for a competitions as I try to be a bit different and contemporary. Some times I win, it depends on the judge but if I don’t win I don’t mind as it has given me the chance to do something I like to do and would not have had the opportunity otherwise. Working in the shop has given me more of an insight to what people want, for instance, last week I did a lovely wedding, but forgot the camera as usual. My New Years resolution is to take my camera around with me. It’s a small shop in what was once a mining village it has old fashion ways but with a younger generation moving in a more modern approach is needed but to stay in business you have to do what the people want, it’s a bonus when somebody wants something different. I hope you will keep on visiting my blog now its written by me instead of Robert, I will try and post more pics of things I do and I can give more details as to how they are done than Robert could.

Thanks.

This post is just to thank you all for leaving comments about Vick’s arrangements. Most of you know that UKBob, her husband is updating this blog for her at the moment as its not going to be viewed by Vicki until December 25th which is why she hasn’t replied to any of your comments or anything. I’m sure though come the unveiling she will read all your comments and take great pleasure from what you have to say. I hope to post more pics before Christmas, I’m just having trouble getting her to tell me which are her works without arousing suspicion as to why I’m so interested, I don’t want to go and post the work of someone else in her name. So please keep visiting and thank you once again for your interest.

Bob.
