Thrift, thrift, Horatio!

Wellinghall's parents received flowers from a few of their friends for the funeral.

One bunch is worthy of particular note.  Sent on Thursday (the day before the funeral), the card said something like "will be thinking of you tomorrow".

The card accompanied a dozen red roses and a heart-shaped balloon.

So now we're wondering - do all flowers ordered on 14th February automatically default to red roses, or has some poor girl received an armful of white lilies, and a proposal of marriage on the back of a Deepest Sympathies card?

Oh dear! One rather hopes not the latter...

It's a good story, though! At my great aunt's funeral we were stuck behind cows going to be milked - a hearse and three huge limos. My great aunt would have loved that - it is just her sense of humour - so perhaps your grandmother-in-law would have been amused by the flowers?
