Title: I've Won a Competition
Post by: mrs bouquet on January 14, 2020, 12:15

Sometimes I send birthday flowers to my Daughter-in-Law.   This year as they have everything they want, I sent them Christmas Flowers.  I always use Scilly Flowers, who grow and send out the most beautifully scented narcissus.   In November I contacted them and arranged for flowers to go to York on 23rd December, which duly arrived.    At that time I entered a competition, cannot even remember what I had to do, (probably tick the box).   
Well, they have just rung me to say I am a winner, and have won my money back, and did I want more flowers for me, a credit or money refund.   
I am bowled over, I never thought something like this would happen to me.       I would have recommended this company before this happened, and even more so now  ;)  Mrs Bouquet

I didn't, because I have a house full of flowers I have just treated myself to.    Actually, I was so surprised, I couldn't think of what to say, so they are sending me the money.    I remembered the competition, I had to say why I liked dealing with them etc etc.  I shall probably get some for my D-in-Law's birthday in February, and some for me as well.  They are brilliant.  Mrs B

Their web is:  SCILLYFLOWERS.CO.UK      -      Their address is Churchtown Farm, St. Martins, Isle of Scilly TR25 0QL       Phone:  01720 422169.
I always ring them because their booklet shows a picture of the family and you can see who you are talking to.
They are also on Facebook and Instagram, but I don't use them anyway.
If you get their booklet, there is an order form inside, with lovely pictures, including the dogs, Luna and Ruby.

My favourite flower is difficult to answer, because I love them all   :D :D  Mrs B
