Loovlee Daffs Three Boonches uh Pohund

OK, so I know I am exaggerating a bit on the accent, but the woman I bought daffodils from, well, I just fell in loove with her accent. She was repeating this over and over to sell her flowers. And I even got a "Ta, luv" ("Thanks, love.") when I paid.
I am always amazed at how cheap flowers are and how many people buy them here. It's so European. I just don't remember flowers being inexpensive nor as many people buying them in the US.

It is so loovlee outside today. There were tons of people out shopping on the High Street and everyone was smiling. It was still absolutely freezing this morning, but it warmed up enough that I actually broke into a glisten upon my walk back home because I missed the bus. For once I didn't mind missing the bus because I had my trusty granny trolley. And did I mention it is gorgeous outside?
These were spotted on the way to the High St in Sandford Park.

And just to make you all laugh, here are two photos of the packaging on a Domino's chicken strips/potato wedges combo box. Do you all have these in America with the same pictures?

I love how much you blog. And I love things about which you blog. And I miss the flowers being sold on the High Street. I do still buy fresh flowers regularly, but I always have. And no, can't say that I've seen those awesome Domino's cartoons. Although we don't order Domino's. I think the Brits really have the best sense of humoUr.
