2000 was an eventful year - I passed my demonstrator's test and now in my 26 year as a demonstrator, I count my blessings. What a fantastic job working with flowers and meeting so many lovely people. Apart from flowers, I am a passionate gardener, and over the years have had a great many visitors to my award winning garden. I am lucky to have travelled to Scotland, the north east midlands and Isle of Man and have designed numerous church festivals and recently was part of the Northumberland and Durham team invited to arrange flowers in Westminster Abbey for Remembrance Sunday and attend the Sunday morning service in the abbey, certainly a weekend to remember. I have a busy year ahead, and after all these years - I am still learning!!
