2010 has arrived, saw it in the distance, knew it was coming and here it is. A new year and with the world soccer cup around the corner. Things are hotting up, and I mean that literally, sweltering. Goodness, its going to be interesting for the month of June. Kickoff on 11 June. I believe the venues are:

Johannesburg : Soccer City, Ellis Park Stadium
Durban : Moses Mabhida Stadium
Cape Town : Cape Town Stadium
Pretoria : Loftus Versfeld Stadium
Port Elizabeth : Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium
Bloemfontein : Free State Stadium
Polokwane : Peter Mokaba Stadium
Nelspruit : Mbombela Stadium
Rustenburg : Royal Bafokeng Stadium

Still going strong Mrs A. keep it up. We are all rooting for you.To all those of you who think you should loose a kilo or 2 or 20. Eat less, move more. Trust me, before you know it, you will wonder where it all went too. Which of course is better than wondering where it all came from. Except if its money, then the reverse.

So to 2009, I wont say I will miss you and I wont say you were the best, or even good. This I can say ... I am better, stronger and wiser because you came.

Thank you to all our customers for all your support. I wish you a good, safe Christmas. If you are travelling, please stay awake. Arriving late is way better than not arriving at all.

Local News : Well, well, well, a great start to 2009. We are looking forward to some interesting developments, new markets opening and of course meeting many new people and the challenge of making a difference.

Ai Oo Blommie, the Flower Sisters still continue to rave about www.FlowerShop.co.za still saying "The flowers and service from the FlowerShop.co.za is simply the best, better than all the rest! The flowers are delivered in person with a bright sunny smile! They really should say in their write up that they are the best local florist delivery service in South Africa".

Astrid and Amber are very enthusiastic to know that www.FlowerShop.co.za only promotes the LOCAL South African FLORIST, and suggest that you use BloomCentral.com for international deliveries, as they link you directly to the Local Florist in the area, in the country you want your delivery to go to."This" says Astrid "gives me peace of mind, as I know that my bouquets and gifts will be delivered in South Africa and at such good prices!"

"The personal service, dedication of the FlowerShop Team and the commitent of the local florists show that we in South Africa do really care for our clients!" said Ms. Astrid Flower.

The Flower twins are very excited about this as they can now order the gifts they wish to send to their families and friends through Flower Shop where they order online 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year - with peace of mind because of the SSL 128 bit encryption for their payments. Well, with their expertise and service which I have found in South Africa on the Internet (or off the internet) - Flower Shop is number 1 in my books!"
