I'm so thankful for Interflora too. And I'm also lucky to be let off the hook with regard Father's Day - my Dad strongly disagrees with it - since it is a recently 'invented' day with no historical background, purely dreamed up by the likes of Hallmark to make money and guilt people into buying cards. When it first started I did buy him a card and he said, 'I know you love me, you don't need to buy into this, I'm sorry, but any cards I receive are going straight in the bin unopened'. I love my Dad! :) So, I simply shower him with love all year round, with phone calls, e-mails and special gifts on his Birthday. Juli you are too funny! I’m so thankful for Interflora too.

And of course, I'm all about, you know, plugging myself. cheers I don’t know why (possibly the wine), but the link to my VERY IMPORTANT website is wrong in the comment above.

I just can't seem to GET IT TOGETHER and post cards overseas in time for these VERY IMPORTANT holidays. So it’s not just me.

Ive never had much luck on the card front, and im never organised enough to buy a year in advance on Mothers day or Fathers day here. Thank you Interflora is all I can say :) Saviour of Expats in trouble :) Thanks so much for the link – that’s really cool.

In recent years I have actually found a few 'Mothering Sunday' cards in Whitcoulls - normally tucked around with the Easter cards, but generally end up making one. Your day sounds fabulous and that BBQ literally blew me away! Been a glorious weekend of sun here on the South coast too.
