Mum to the rescue

Life seems to have been turned upside down this year and I fail to know where the solutions lie. The only thing I know how to do is to bring sunshine into your day. And that’s what I hope to do with this tulip.

Many many years ago I was to be dressed as a little Dutch girl in an amateur stage show. However, I forgot to tell my Mother that I needed her to make my costume until the night before our first performance! Fortunately for me, my Mother was highly creative and after she had berated me for telling her last minute, she made me the most amazing costume complete with a lace trimmed apron, a Dutch cap, curled up at the sides by using floristry wire and she even pulled a pair of wooden clogs out of the wardrobe. Looking back I find it quite bizarre she had the clogs but hey, they were exactly what we needed at the time!

This gorgeous tulip reminds me of the Dutch cap she made. Thanks Mum!
