Someone told me a while back that when you live in London, you really need to have some plants to cope with the dreary weather. I took their advice and haven't looked back. I've gotten herbs, potted gerberas, bushes, and now daffodils. They seem to be popping up everywhere in London, even in public spaces along the roads. I love it! They're so bright and cheery, especially on the rainy days. There's a floral shop down the street from my flat that sells them for cheap. I like picking up a bunch, putting them in some water, and then seeing them pop open the next day. And for a girl who doesn't have the greenest of thumbs, when they die next week, I'll just venture back down the store and get some more... And watch them pop open!
