I added some lovely pale pink roses called Capitain John Ingram and a darker pink one called Zephrine Drouhin, sadly I do not know what variety my mum's rose is. I put a little bit of hydrangea in there, campanula for colour, and lavender, sage and jasmine for fragrance.
My friend did not know if she would be able to give them to the Queen or not, because of security issues etc. Because I have been busy with a wedding I hadn't heard if she had managed to present them or not.
Joy of joys the Queen eventually got the posy and was heard to remark on the beautiful fragrance.
Well, I am cock a hoop, over the moon and so very chuffed, this has made my day!!!!
Hello Linda:
ReplyDeleteThis is so very thrilling for you. And such a kindness on your part to do this for your friend particularly at a time when you were short of time, without a motor car and so had to rely on your own resources. True friendship. And we are so pleased for you that, notwithstanding all the security issues, your posy did reach the Queen.
I bet her maj loved them it is so pretty!
ReplyDeleteAmazing! How exciting Linda, what a thrill for you! It is a beautiful posy and certainly fit for a Queen!
ReplyDeleteLots of love

I'm not surprised she was pleased, if their perfume is as gorgeous as they look, I love that golden apricot colour.
