Beautiful Colours of India
If I was to write a list of all the places I would love to visit in the World, India would be very close to the top. Who wouldn’t want to experience the beauty of the Taj Mahal up close, or enjoy the tranquility of Goa. The spices, the hustle and bustle, and the vibrancy of Indian cities like Delhi, Jaipur and Mumbai all both fascinate and delight in equal measures, and a beautiful and colourful infographic put together by Great Rail Journeys has only served to increase my fascination with India even more. National Geographic Society’s Keith Bellows sums it up beautifully in a lovely quote:- “I had been…

iFlorist – beautiful blooms for Mother’s Day
Sunday 15th March sees the day that all mother’s look forward to, and dad’s have grown to dread. Yes, this Sunday, is Mother’s Day, and that means dad’s up and down the country will spend this weekend worrying about what to get their other half on behalf of their little darlings. They may spend Saturday trying to persuade their little ones that mommy really doesn’t want that giant teddy bear, or that rather ugly lustre ornament of a pink pig carrying flowers (I’m shuddering at the thought.)

It features a beautiful young girl called Sophie, who finds a beautiful bouquet left beside her on a park bench. She thinks the flowers may be from Paul, the man she loves. Unfortunately, this proves to not be the case and a forlorn Sophie is left to walk the streets with her flowers. However, the…

Enjoying flowers from the eflorist
When you think of receiving a gift of flowers, what service comes to mind? Hand delivered by a loved one, maybe your child on Mother’s Day? Or maybe a beautiful bloom delivered by delivery van, already in a lovely vase, or a presentation box? What you’re probably not expecting is your flowers to come in a large box, but that is how flowers come from the eflorist, one of the most successful online flower delivery services. I love receiving flowers, I truly believe they are one of the loveliest things to be given, and now that Joe is older we often have fresh flowers on window sills (Joe no longer…
