Happy days and memories of wonderful times in her life were the inspiration for Linda Barnett's floral extravaganza in the Town Hall last Sunday.
Almost a year of work and planning, an extraordinary florist's vision and a team of fellow floral art group members bloomed into an amazing show which had the very large audience captivated.
As well as the pressure of creating outstanding designs and constantly interacting with the audience, Linda was under the scrutiny of three judges as the floral theatre was her exam for her demonstrating unit, module three.
"I couldn't practise what I'm doing, I've had to create a mental picture instead," Linda said. "I can't afford to buy flowers for trial runs and, to be honest, I'd never repeat the same design twice."
For her first design Linda called on the memories of lighting a fire outside as a child, with her sister, Jocelyn, and having a "big fry-up".
