Maru loves having fresh flowers in the home, so for my UK readers, here’s a great flower hack: buy them from Tesco.
Yes, your run-of-the-mill supermarket has excellent flowers. They last for at least a week, sometimes up to ten days, and are often 20-30% of the price you’d pay at a florist.
A few times I’ve bought flowers for Maru from a dedicated florist thinking the quality would justify the price, and I have been consistently disappointed.
Maru now buys a few bunches from Tesco and makes her own arrangements. She often puts them in little vases she made at pottery. It brings a unique liveliness and colour to our home.
