At a wedding fair it is always a pleasure to meet other people engaged in the supply of services to those who have decided to tie the knot. Last Sunday at Ravenwood Hall Hotel near Bury St. Edmunds, this was again the case.
As I was a little out of my usual area for such exhibitions there were a number of new people to meet including Rachel Desira, a very pleasant lady who is a florist with a business name of The English Rose. I thought she was very apt to meet this week as St George's Day looms tomorrow.
I also met a harpist called Julia Thornton who had a little problem on the day....... she had cut her finger quite badly and was unable to play her harp. Indeed she had unfortunately needed to cancel an engagement the previous evening. I was pleased to be able to help her, as through a business I share with my wife, I could offer to send her some samples of aloe vera which would help the healing process and minimise the scarring. She was grateful and I agreed to send her the samples the following day. When I came to do this however I found that the last samples had recently been given away. So as not to let her down I sent her a tube with my compliments, otherwise she would have thought I had not followed through on our conversation. On returning home this afternoon from meetings in Chelmsford I was delighted to have received a beautiful card with some lovely words of thanks - it made the whole process so worthwhile and I won't forget Julia when it comes to recommending a harpist in future - I had heard her music on CD so I knew she was excellent!
