In the latest instalment of her Telegraph column, 'Sport and Social', Pippa Middleton is up with the larks picking the best bouquets at New Covent Garden Flower Market.

Since 2007, when I started out as an events organiser, I’ve been a regular at New Covent Garden Flower Market.

Everyone has heard of it, but apart from savvy church flower arrangers and DIY brides, few people outside the flower trade and catering and entertaining businesses know that they are welcome at the vast site, nestled between the high rises of Vauxhall and the towers of Battersea Power Station.

Think of it as an edgy garden centre-cum-cool greenhouse. It is the place to find bargain flowers, plants and all the props. I love it. Click link for full post from The Telegraph.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
