#72. Buy flowers for someone

23 Apr

I’ve bought flowers for people before. Usually my mum or gran for their birthday but always for a reason. I wanted to buy flowers for someone for no reason at all. A random act of kindness to hopefully brighten someone’s day and earlier this week I had the urge to do just that. My target? The gorgeous Sarah of Sarah’s Scribbles!

The piccie above is of the arrangement I chose, a mix of pink roses, freesias and alstromeria. Now I’m not naive enough to think that they actually arrived looking quite that nice but hopefully they were still nice enough that they can be put on display for a day or two before dying! I was starting to get a bit nervous when I hadn’t heard anything by mid-afternoon thinking they weren’t going to arrive but then I got this Tweet and was super relieved!

It felt nice knowing I had made someone smile unexpectedly and it’s given me the buzz for more random acts of kindness so who knows what I might get up to or who my next target will be. It could even be you…
