00:00 Natalie. Hi I'm Nigel. And tell me how it feels to have a physical shop now for your business?
00:06 It's really exciting, it is exciting but it's also pretty nerve-wracking as well. It's a big step
00:13 from the little studio at home to being on the high street but yeah I'm excited.
00:19 What about your thoughts Nigel? It's yes it's exciting, nerve-wracking but all the feedback
00:26 has been very good so yeah that's nice to know we're going in the right direction.
00:31 And tell me what your ambitions are for the business?

00:49 and stuff so yeah just we just want it to run for the family.
00:54 Tell me what you love about flowers and floristry?
00:57 Do you know what it's because it sounds really bad but it's because it's not like I don't feel
01:02 it's like work it's almost like playing you know it doesn't it doesn't feel like a job.
