Some of its quite posh - definitely a good place to have a florist business! There are plenty round here - some I am not sure how they stay in business but the good ones are very good. Still reckon there's room for another!

Where did your wife escape to? Are you still based in South East?

Hi Kez,

where's your shop? What sort of stuff do you cover in level 3 (getting ahead of myself here, not started level 2 C&G yet).

Not nosy, interested
I'm a full time florist, has been for 31 years. Never got my own shop. Didn't felt for it when my kids were small . I only worked part time these years ,and now, well one can never know. I work in a very busy shop in my home town, having 6 wonderful colleagues and one fine Boss. Cant wish for more at the moment . Hrmmmm, maybe better wages

Hi Tree,

I wasn't too keen on level 3 at 1st, but I am really glad I have done it.
It gets you to start thinking out of the box & designing your own work.

I think doing level 3 does depend on who you work with, as perhaps you would progress naturally after level 2, but I have found it helpfull.

I had to pay for both of my courses & although I have found it a financial struggle I am glad I have done them.

Yes, not too far away and her best friends still live that way. Although won't be long before we'll be a bit further down the road.
