Funeral tributes

At college this week we started the funeral unit, and we made a double ended spray and a loose posy pad. These were both practice pieces for two assessments we have the week we come back after Easter.

The morning tutor said my double ended spray was perfect and do the same thing for the assessment, and the afternoon tutor said I would do well with my loose posy pad if I made it the same for the assessment. So fingers crossed they come out the same way!

Florist experience

I spent my day today working in a Florist in Witham. I had a really good day, and I got to work on quite a few designs. This is the fourth or fifth time I've been into this Florist so I feel like they trust me more now and have confidence in my abilities, which is great. I'm going back again in a couple of weeks for another day, and they said I could book in for Valentine's Day and Mother's Day now if I want!

Working in a florist

Bit of a delay in posting this but a couple of weeks ago I went into a florist for a couple of days for some work experience. I only did 4 hours each day but I still learnt a lot and I got to make some actual arrangements. It was mostly funeral flowers that I was helping out with, but there was also an Interflora basket.

I also got to have a good chat with a lady who is doing the diploma at Writtle College that I am starting in September so it was good to hear a bit more about how the course is run and what the coursework is like. I can't wait to get started now!
