From the totally sublime to the absolute ridiculous

Today was one of my regular trips to Maidstone.
Although I sport my own nails, to keep them intact I get them wrapped with fibre glass, a safer technique to acrylic as it requires less abrasion to your own nails and fewer chemicals.
Anyway, I digress. The reason for this blog is to record the sublime and the totally ridiculous with a quick stop at 'oh dear' on the way.
Sublime.
A new florist has opened up; called Vinetta Flower Gallery, you'll find it along Pudding Lane in what was the Vintage furniture centre.
She's only been there since November, but what caught my eye was the 'tree' with old bird's nests filled with bulbs, and then I looked in the window....
such fabulous creations and very unique. If you want flowers and a special occasion is looming then consider this lady, she has some wonderful ideas.
So that was the sublime, now the 'oh dear'. 
Maidstone is well known for its subway under the very busy Tonbridge Road next to the river,  but it's very proximity to that amount of water makes it susceptible to flooding. 
Well, that's the worst I've seen in a long time! And its not just a little puddle,  its absolutely flooded all through up to the exit staircase.....a real, oh dear. 😁
And now The Ridiculous!
Have you seen Easter eggs yet? Well check out Wilko
At the check out, next to the Christmas remnants you'll find the first Easter smattering. 
What does make me grin is they failed to intersperse some Valentine's chocolates.......give them a couple of weeks. 🙄
