Flowers by Friends is having a well deserved break, and will be back again, with some new changes from mid January 2014.  In the meantime, you can still see a new flower each weekday on Flower of the Day.

Thank you to all my friends and family who have contributed to these pages.

Wishing you beauty and joy in your life for 2014,

from Frances
