Why This Means So much
Some of my most treasured memories begin in a little flower shop.
Growing up, my Mum, my Nan and I, would visit our local florist to choose fresh flowers to take to the resting place of the people we loved. We'd spend time carefully choosing the perfect bouquet before making our way together, and although the reason we were there was one of remembrance, those moments were always filled with love.
Every time I smell The Flower Shop, I'm taken straight back there.
The scent of freshly cut flowers, crisp green stems and cool water filling the buckets instantly transports me back to standing beside my Mum and my Nan, surrounded by beautiful blooms as we decided which flowers to choose together.
It's incredible how one fragrance can unlock memories you thought were tucked safely away.
Now, every time I melt this fragrance, I'm not just smelling fresh flowers.
For a little while, I'm back in that flower shop with my Mum and my Nan, choosing flowers together, just as we always did.
