Myerscough College Lecture

I thought I looked quite slim on this picture Jason took, so I put it first, I hope you don't mind!

This a group of second year degree students at Myerscough College.

This is an e-mail I recently recieved from Anne Molloy who currently takes this group for their special event management module. " I am in the process of organising their scheme of work and was wondering if you would consider coming to give a guest lecture giving them a taste of what events are like at the chalk face – as it were?"

I have never given a lecture before, and for those of you who were there I apologise for grossly over running and being very possibly extremely boring.

I was very nervous, although this is my specialist subject I had, had to do a lot of homework I rehearsed the whole thing to Olivia last night, she wasn't too impressed, Jason said I did OK but not to give up my day job.

But all of that said it was really nice to meet a bunch of very enthusiastic florists, with lots of questions and opinions. We did discuss a great deal about respecting each other (Fellow Florists that is) and respecting the profession of Floristry. I thoroughly enjoyed being amongst you all and hope that you will ask me again.

If you remember nothing else remember to be a believer (not in Flower Fairies) if we don't believe in the value of flowers, how can we convince our clients to?
