Last minute prep

Wednesday morning. Our friends from the Uk were arriving on Thursday, and we had a few last minute jobs to get done.

We wanted to nip over to Meurville to buy some of Jérôme’s Champagne, so we did that first thing. Of course we needed to try some, it would be rude not to. What a way to start a busy day!

We then nipped into Bar-sur-Aube to buy a few last bits at the Leclerc supermarket, before heading home to put the final touches to the house. On the way back we pulled over to cut some greenery and cow parsley to use in the house.

My flowers from last week were now all looking very tired, so I wanted to refresh those that had a little longer in them, and arrange some additional vases to fill the house.

I find real pleasure in creating different arrangements, and using different containers. You don’t always need lots of flowers, sometimes just having a few feature flowers will create a big enough impact.
