A proposito di questo titolo

Hello and welcome to (a very wet) Tuesday 27 January 2026.

The disasters are coming thick and fast this week (and it's only Tuesday). There is endless rain, my car window has broken (again), and something has eaten a third of my tulips. To console myself I've just made a gloriously rich and decadent tartifette and will worry about the calories in the spring.

Tonight I have two epic chats for you: the first concerns the recent news that the Church is considering a ban on floral foam and imported flowers. It will be formally debated soon so that will be interesting. I'd love to know what you think about this.

The second chat is about selling to florists and this is a biggie. I'll share my thoughts on this including why florists are not the be-all-and-end-all (although they are for my business model), where you could sell your flowers as an alternative to florists, everything I learnt about selling to florists in 2025, what I tried and (spectacularly) failed at, and what did eventually work for me. However I still have so much more to learn this year.

I hope that you will come back and join me for the next episode - you're always very welcome. Hopefully it will have stopped raining by then too.
