spotting this sign on my daily trip in to Laidley was quite uplifting! The florist is one of the shops that has been out of action since the floods - that is more then 2 weeks - closed, cleaning, repairing etc. It's sad to see quite a few shops (all small, locally owned businesses) damaged in the flood...about 6 of them so badly there is still no sign of them re-opening. I keep hoping to see a hint of them getting back on their feet but have heard the buildings have structural damage so it could be a while yet!
Usually I pluck flowers from our garden but had been thinking it would be nice to help support the young owner (whose grandmother owned the florist many years ago) when she re-opens...a stem every couple of days...I know it's only a small gesture but over time the little interactions make a difference...
so today it was a stem of miniature daisies, pretty yes?
