Special mention from Vicki to Steve
Steve Wainwright thank you for an amazing 2 years as my partner, although it's been short and sweet as landlord and lady together I have had the best year of my life, living and working together isn't easy unless you have the partnership like we have, you have given me the opportunity honour and privilege of standing by your side, fighting this battle to keep the florist alive. There's only one way from now on and that's up, we are strong and will get through any challenge that comes our way. 4 children between us and your truly the best dad any child could ever wish for. I'll be forever thankful for how you welcomed us to the flo and gave us a new life. We will beat this and come out on top it will make is so much stronger love you all the world 💝
