I emailed The Blexhill Florist from Australia to deliver some flowers to my Aunt who has been quite unwell. Kate was very pleasant to work with - she made the transaction very smooth, easy and efficient. My family were delighted with the arrangement, the flowers were just beautiful! I would highly recommend The Blexhill Florist to family and friends.
