ALL the news is full of doom and gloom regarding business closure and the death of our high streets.
Oxton based business Ewer Roberts has proved to be a real beacon of hope as it has emerged over the last month.
Despite the devastation of wedding business Abi and Sarah have invested in this beautiful shop.
When I passed the other day they took the time to have a socially-distanced chat. Their enthusiasm is infectious.
For the first time, in a very long time, I felt cheerful.
I realised that I have missed beautiful things in my home and can’t wait to buy in real time again.
Naturally they have had lots of bereaved families to support.
I never really appreciated how florists soak up the grief in communities.
They even have a service for funeral flowers to be repurposed in a personal posy .... love it.
Perhaps a range of good news, growth features would inspire your readers. It has really helped me.
