It was a very special time in my life when Garlands of Grace was formed and developed, epitomising the English Country Style in the beauty of flowers and interiors. Designing flowers for the most beautiful weddings, colour co-ordinating rooms and houses plus teaching both in colleges, churches, halls and barns. It was exciting, fun and beautiful helping to fulfil dreams and bless people.

It is like coming home to a "Little bit of Heaven on Earth" as I was on community for nearly two years many years ago. Recently I joined a photography course which was such a blessing confirming my ideas and thoughts. It was a blissful time of good weather to pray and see the beauty of nature. Taking photos in the woods, through the countryside and on the beach. Looking at the finest detail to the biggest view - the sheer wonder of God's creation. This photo is natural, nothing added or taken away. I just caught the perfect moment! amazing and so beautiful!

As a child I sat on the soft warm grass making daisy chains with bees buzzing around, collected fluffy pink cherry blossom to make perfume from the most beautiful tree whose branches tapped my window in a breeze. I remember running carefree across the Common with a sea of buttercups and cow parsley around me and collecting many different grasses and I knew them all by name. A precious childhood that introduced me to nature and the seasons in all their glory.
