Me and Mr Jones, we got a thing going on 🎶
Mr David Jones, a Needham Market local, loved his dog, his family, a prized character of the community, and my friend.
It's taken me a while to post this, but i wanted him to be on my grid.
He wouldn't have had a clue what that meant 🤦♀️😆, but I'd like him there.
Since I opened in 2019, this gentleman has been a constant along the high street and passed my shop. He has brought in Bonny the dog for her flower in her collar almost every day that I've been open.
Covid hit, and eventhough our doors were closed, we were still inside, he would call up and say he was passing so I could leave a little stem out for her, or a couple of teeny bunches of flowers for his daughters.
As time went on, and normalcy resumed, we would have a cheeky little swear, a rant and he would go on with his day, and me mine.
A few weeks ago, he passed.
Our little routine bluntly came to a stop, and I can truly say that I miss it.
With this, all I could do is obviously help with his flowers. I thank his family for letting me be a part of their goodbye, and allowing me to honour him in the only way I could.
For now, goodbye Mr Jones, my friend.
