Dont You just Love It

Autumn that is !  loving the colours , thought we would go with some muted reds pinks and greens instead of reds and orange !! sorry if thats too controversial , thats just how it is ..

Orrell In Bloom

A very nice customer told us today that we "brighten up Orrell Post corner, no end"  I must say we can't take all the credit, we did have a little help from the glorious sunshine, but I thought I would share some pics with you and let you see for yourselves.

Everything Looks better in the sunshine !

Mother's Day Picture Montage !

Below are a selection of pictures that depict the fun and mayhem of the weekend !
























































If you are wondering where the pictures are ? don't worry your web browser is working properly, we where  so busy there was no time to take any snaps !! Sorry

We had our usual early mornings and late (Very Late) nights , we laughed, we danced, we sang and we ate Pizza ! and  that was before we opened the doors to the heaving mob !

A Big thank you to our wonderful staff for pulling out all the stops and "cracking on " with such enthusiasm, thank you too to the friends and family who became flower delivery professionals for a couple of days and most importantly thank you to our lovely customers who chose Hills Florist to arrange flowers for their lovely mums.

I promise to post some lovely pictures in the next blog ...!

Spring Is in The Air

The sun has been shining for four consecutive days !! 

this must either mean that spring is finally here, or that as in previous years .. this is Summer ??!!.

In any case, the one thing that is certain to arrive soon is 

Mothers Day.

With this in mind we have been busy making and preparing all kinds of gorgeous flowery things, ready for those lovely Mums. 

On Oriental lady gazes out in quiet solitude over Orrell

To prevent over stimulation...We haven't posted pictures of today's fresh flower selection, ..... after all, we need to save you some surprises. !    Why not just pop in and have a look for yourself.

Our First Mince Pies & Sherry !

We have been in festive mood a today, I realise that most of you will be horrified at the thought of it, but whilst we where putting the finishing touches to our Christmas gift range. To help us get in the mood we thought it appropriate to tuck into our first ...  (of many) ... Mince Pies, and a shot of Sherry.

It worked a treat... so we have taken a few snaps of the results of our labours

However , so as not to send anyone into cardiac arrest we have only posted a few little teasers

You will have to be patient to see the full range .. it will be available from the 12th of November. .....
We Promise not to mention Christmas again for at least a couple of weeks
