I used the shop regularly too and was dismayed to learn they were closing. It seemed a way of life went when they and all the other little shops I frequented shut their doors for the last time. I used to buy oasis, etc for flower arranging from them which made a cheap bunch of seasonal flowers look special. Even though I'm cutting off my nose to spite my face, I refuse to buy flowers from the supermarket because of their policy of cut pricing local traders and then putting up their prices when the competition has gone to the wall.
