I popped into Delia's today to get some flowers to liven up the flat. These grey days are weighing me down, so I thought some lovely blooms would sort things out. And I must say, my flat now looks lovely, and the scent of irises fills the living room.
One thing I hate about florists shops, is that they are cramped and overstocked. Not Delia's. This is a cool, calm florist shop, sparsely stocked inside with exposed brick walls that would be more at home in a trendy apartment. These bare settings make it easy to really *see* the flowers, and make a good choice. Not that you can make a bad choice here really, as the flowers are all very very nice.
Pricewise, you're going to end up paying around £20 for a bouquet (but I'm sure she's worth it...) but if you're just after some blooms for yer room, a bunch of irises set me back less than £4 today, which is pretty decent. Back in my Didsbury days, a bunch of Delia's flowers lasted a long time, so for that £4, my living room will be brighter and more fragrant for over a week. You get what you pay for, so while Delia may charge a wee bit more than Our Saint Sharron, the flowers are jolly good. read more
