They wrote: “Happy Mother’s Day everyone. Not the start of the day we would have hoped for. Woken at 1.30am to be told someone had smashed their car through our shop window.

“Not only breaking the glass but smashing through the wooden framework right into the shop.

“This meant we were forced to stay in the shop until it was secured by the wonderful Affa Handy Manny with help from my husband at 5am.

“As I’m sure you can expect we are all really upset and very tired.

“Thankfully nobody was hurt and that’s the main thing as that is such a busy area during the daytime/evening.

“We were nice and organised with our flowers being ready hoping for a stress free Mother’s Day, but I will now have to remake a few orders which were damaged in the accident.

“Please bare with us today and allow us some time get things organised.

“Every bouquet ordered for today will 100% be delivered it will just be slightly later (around lunchtime/early afternoon.

“Thank you in advance for your understanding.”
