Monday: Covent Garden Flowers

Nell was always happiest when she was working with growing things and today was no exception. She was singing quietly to the pots of African violets and was amused when the shy things started humming along. It was fine until the more raucous Gerbera daisies got into the act, loudly and off key. Nell tried to settle them down, but the Venus Flytraps - wait, where did the Venus Flytraps come from? - started blowing raspberries and the orchids started making a loud screeching noise in protest.

Nell found herself standing in the middle of the shop yellng, "All you'uns better simmer down here or you might just find a little pesticide in your water tomorrow!"

She'd never do that, of course, and was immediately embarrassed to have been yelling at a store full of plants, but there you have it.

It was a much quieter afternoon, though.
