There are few gifts in life that are more touching and memorable than flowers. They have highlighted big milestones in my lifes – over-sized colourful bouquets for my 18th birthday from proud parents, 25 perfect red roses flown in from Jersey for my first Christmas with Monsieur Cheri and more recently a big bunch of peony roses sent down to London for my birthday when my mum couldn’t be there.
I’ve been lucky enough to have such spontaneous and beautiful gifts and in return, I would send a surprise bouquet to my mum, who came down to visit me from Newcastle for a few days. I saw her off at Kings Cross today and I couldn’t help wanting to pluck her off the train for more sauntering around Fortnum & Mason buying posh biscuits and making her endless cups of tea in my flat (which she says I should keep tidier) – just regular mother and daughter things.
A bouquet of roses would make her day, as they are her favourites and rose is a note in her Coco Mademoiselle perfume, which always reminds me of her.

These rose bouquets and vase arrangements would be perfect…
