I have known Carl and his mum and dad for up to 20 years now. I have bought my flowers from Carl every Sunday morning for my consulting room. Last week we left London to live in Norfolk but before we went we took some photographs of Carl and the three of us together. I’m sad because I came away without Carl’s email address or phone number to send them to him. I’d be glad if someone would help us to get in touch.

I am lucky enough to have known Carl, plus Mick, Keith and Sylvia, for over a decade now. For the last 10 years or so I’ve visited most Sundays, and bought my flowers from him more often than not. My early morning jaunts to the area were mostly because it was one place to take my nipper, when he was a few months old, at 7am when there was not much happening. Then he and I kept returning because we love the place.

A couple of years ago the nipper’s mum and I got married, in our own, local Hawksmoor Church. It was a glorious day. All the more so when Carl, Mick and Keith supplied a car full of white flowers. They refused payment, and although we ply them with midget gems or toffees most Sundays, we will always be in their debt. They are special people.
