  1. Top Bird loves … Violets


    Call me old-fashioned, but I think there's nothing lovelier than a posy of fresh violets. I spied this box of them at Liberty's flower shop this afternoon, where they are selling wee posies for £1.50 each or four for £5.

    I quite like the idea of holding a posy under my nose next time I'm wedged between buttock and armpit on the Tube, just like the judges at the Old Bailey did in ye olden days (to ward against ye foul stench of various crim types). But a bunch of four with a collar of green leaves in a clear round glass vase would look just dandy as well.
