Stop and Smell The Flowers…from The Real Flower Company

Stop and smell the flowers. Sadly walk into most florists and this isn’t actually possible. Have you noticed that most bunches of flowers have no smell?

You can’t beat supermarkets for convenience and I often have fun wandering the aisles exploring the goodies on the shelves. However I’m not crazy about the way they are like juggernauts crushing all … Continue reading London Food Shopping: The People’s Supermarket – for the people, by the people?
