I am looking for a particular person called Anne who is a taxi driver. She was magically sitting in her taxi outside my flat and took me and my mum to Simpsons a couple of days ago. I just wanted to say thanks for being a wonderful driver and let her know that my little boy was born 45 minutes after we arrived! If you are or know of an Anne who is a taxi driver, I would love to make contact and get a message through to her! (Picture of our newest little one) *UPDATE* Anne, our magical taxi driver, is found! Thanks to Gillian. Thanks everyone for your very nice comments and helping to #findanne

I took over Simpson’s Florist mid pandemic. It’s been a rollercoaster,

that’s for sure! A couple of months ago Fleurs de Villes got in touch to ask if we wanted to take part in their exhibition which started yesterday at the St James Quarter. We were tasked with making a 6-foot floral mannequin of Frida Kahlo out of flowers. There were many sleepless nights after they sent us the photo they wanted us to copy. Anyway, I’m really happy to share the finished creation with you. I was so pleased and slightly stunned with how it came together. Even more stunned when we were awarded the best in [the] show!

Today I’m adding the finishing touches to my paintings for my first exhibition in Brick Lane, London. In 2020, I was filled with anxiety trying to juggle myself between home schooling and working in intensive care during the pandemic. I started painting to relieve stress and I’ve never looked back! My first painting sold through EGG and I’m sure nothing would have ever become of it if it wasn’t for this platform. Thank you to EGG for enabling this great opportunity! #bricklanegallery #goodnewsthursday
