I’ve always been a daydreamer. When I was little, sitting in the bright 70’s sunshine on the curb of the pavement of the cul-de-sac where I grew up, I would ponder my existence – why was I there, did I really exist, what were the chances of me being born as me? The book ‘Sophie’s World’ somehow resonated with me, not just because of the name but because the little girl in the story shared the same innocent existential contemplations as me.......
As a florist running a business in London for 4 years, I become aware of the negative impact the flower industry can have on the environment. My floral designs featured in magazines such as 'House and Garden' but I always worried about the provenance of the flowers I used. Now I am striving to become a more sustainable florist, sourcing locally-grown flowers as well as growing my own.
