Romeo, flowers and Regent’s Place

Shades of Romeo and Regent’s Place

I spoke with a friend of mine about this flowers articles. What is the reason why I write this articles, especial when my English language is not so good. I told to my friend that there are not soo many persons who read my articles about Shades of Romeo if they are 5 persons. But for me is ok, all that I write is about love, Romeo and flowers. Yep is about Shades of Romeo and searching programs on the internet, like google. Now in present, if you write on google or another searching programs Shades of Romeo or Regent’s Place who know? Maybe you will find this article too.

It passed some time when I did not write anything, so it’s time for a new story.

Shades of Romeo, orchids plant and Westfield Stratford

10.06.2018 I buy quality, a little more expensive than usual. It was only 4 orchids plants, white lovely ones. I remember that the weather wasn’t nice. I take some pictures to on orchids plants in a small park and after that, I just go to Westfield Stratford.

My first stop it was in Bubbleology, It was a nice spot to take some pictures. I put one orchid plant on the table and I start photo shots. I spend there more than 15 minutes. My intention was to let the flowers there on the table when I going. I start to pick up my staff when I saw a family was waiting for me. There was another 2 table empty, but they were waiting for me, the one with orchids plant on it. You know the sensation about something good. I smiled, the lady smiled me back and that was all. A 2 seconds smile, it makes you feel nice.

Anyway, I take some other pictures with orchids plant therein Westifled. The last 2 orchids plant I just give it to 2 ladies what the are working there to pretzels.

Flowers on Regent’s Place

Regent’s Place is next to my working site now. Like I told you before for me is easier like that, after I finish with the flowers I just go I the site, and I did not lose too many hours from my daily work.

On 19.10.2018 it was a perfect weather, no wind the sun came out and I was there in Regent’s Place with the flowers. There it is really nice and clean place. Sometimes I eating outside there on the stones in Regent’s Place square. Because is a really nice and clean place there, in Regent’s Place square all the time is a security person.

Anyway, I just start to open my banner, get ready to take some pictures and guess what, the security person from Regent’s Plance was next to me. He was a really nice person and explain to me, that with no authorization, I’m not allowed to have any activity in the Regent’s Place square.

When I was picked up my banner one beautiful lady came close to me and help me with the banner. It was an opportunity to offer the first flower in Regent’s Place. I just move next to the bus station. There it was a good chance to take more pictures and at the same time to try to record something for a youtube movie. I’m not a professional one but I promise in the future I will create a better one. Everything has a beginning.

Regent’s Place best place for relax

After that, in 5 minutes only 2 buckets left. A lot of people start to be there in Regent’s Place. I think that is starting to be late for me to get to work. I have to do something with this 2 last buckets

In the distance, I saw a young couple was watching and coming to me. “There is my salvation,” I said in my mind. With not too many words I just pass the flowers to both and I start to pick up my stuff. But they just start talking with me about my activity. It was strange for me, is for the first time for me when someone starts to speak with me about this activity.

Usually, I speak with my friends about this. They explain to me that they are working there In Regent’s Place and in the future if I want to come again there to contact them to give me an authorization. Anyway, for me that was something, it means that people like my idea. This is how to build a brand.

I’m sure in the future I will go again to Regent’s Place square.

Orchids plants on London Bridge

As usual, I just get to the Vauxhall market to buy flowers. Today the traffic was infernal and I just buy 10 beautiful orchids plants. Take some pictures of the market flowers

and on the road again. Today my target place to offer flowers it is London Bridge. My 10 orchids plants look so great in that 2 bags what I have it. Because I was late, 10.30 there was so many people on the bridge. Anyway, I was there to do something nice, something that I like to do it. But because I was so close to the water the wind was strong. My orchids plants just fell it, the same problem with the banner. I just keep the orchids in the bags. Nop… It was just a fight with the wind, and no chance to win. I just let a flower to a lady from the shop in front of me and I go.

Wind and orchids plants

Running away from the wind, I just offer another flower to a lady to the gate on London Bridge station. I saw a big a simile on lady’s face. I just spend a few minutes at the station to decide where should I go. OK, I will go to Stratford, is in my way to Ilford, guess what I just see the lady with the orchids plant what I give her before, she starts taking pictures on the flower. I just felt something nice, before she offers me a smile now I see her take the pictures on the orchids plant. That means she really likes it, I was happy.

I just take the train (Jubily) to Stratford. There on the left side when you came out from Jubily, it is Pret coffee. I just sow the 2 ladies working inside. Live the bag and the banner outside, take 2 orchids plants with me for the ladies. She was surprised, like everyone she asks me what reason, why? I sow how she starts smiling and take the orchids plant. Another lady came from my back and get close to her. Now there are 3 ladies, ok I told her, I will go and bring

one more.

5 more orchid plant left

Westfield mall- that is the target. What can I say, 3 orchids plants just fly there. The same ladies ask me, what is the reason? In the end, they smile and take the orchids plants. I still have 2 flowers to offer. I go to the train to Ilford, I have something to do today at 12:00, and now is 11:05. In the train, I take a seat next to 2 old ladies. They have white hair, really white like in movies. The lady next to me she told me that she loves the color. And orchids are her favorites flowers, purple orchids plants. Really? Do you like it? Then… you can have it, it’s yours. And I offer the purple orchid plant to her. The other orchid I offered to the other lady. All the road to Ilford we have a chat.

In the end, the date of 15 September was a good day for me.

No reason for a Flower

You don’t need a reason to offer flowers to a woman

Last week I was speaking with my friend about my project. Shades of Romeo — A new day of Love.

I try to explain to him that a lot of time men is taking the flowers. He told me that is ok because in the end that flowers will get to a woman and this is mine objective. He has totally true, yep I just have to agree with him.

Monday is a good day to offer some flowers on the streets. Like usually go to Vauxhall market and after that to Liverpool Street station. It takes me some time, especially as I take the public transport.

Today I just buy 10 orchids. They are not so big, but they look nice. Jumping on the bus 344, there were more people like usually, but was ok I did not broke any flowers. On the road to Liverpool Street, I just saw a lot of people on the London Bridge, o… that is a very good spot for me. Next time I will go there.

I just get there, in Liverpool Street station and I start to prepare the banner. In 2 minutes a man just came to me and ask me if the flowers are for free. I told him, yes and if he wants one I will be glad to give him, but first I have to put the stickers on and take some pictures after that. Wait for me 5 min and you will have one. He really waits for me, the first flowers I just give it to him. I remembered the conversation with my friend Theo, a woman will get that flower in the end.

Free flowers on the streets

After that, a woman just came to me and ask me what’s the reason that I give flowers for free? I start to explain that you don’t need a reason, just like that.

-Would you like one, is for free?

-For free? really? just like that for no reason, o thank you very much. ( she told me.) On her face, I can see the surprise and a beautiful smile. “She smiled with her face”. THAT WAS A GREAT SMILE.

I just saw 2 Asiatic ladies waiting for the bus. They were talking to each other and watching me. I just go to them and offer flowers for both. They were looking so strange to me and ask me:

-why? why are you give us flowers?

-just like that, no reason, I’m sorry if you don’t like it. It is for free, you want it?

-For free? really? of course, I like it; and both of them take the flowers. I just go back to my place and take other flowers in my arms. Watching that 2 ladies going to the buss, one of them before to get on the bus, she turned to me and smile. I left my head slightly in gratitude.

I just finish all the flowers, and I left home. Today I take a free day of work, I fill a little more tied. But anyway I get my pictures, I get the story … it was a good morning for me.

See you next time on London Bridge.

Flowers in London Liverpool Street station

Good news is coming

I decide to stay at Liverpool Street station, is more easy for me in this way and hope for people to hear about me easier. You know how to say … advertising or marketing. Today I became professional, I just have the big banner with me, I have the flowers from marketing and now is time to start my … activity, because I can’t say is a business.

Fist person who came to me and starts talking it was homeless. I said in my mind “please I just want to give flowers to ladies, not you, not today “. Explain to him that the flowers are for ladies, and he takes a sticker and let me alone. Ready with the flowers in my hands and waiting… waiting, and no one came to take a flower.

After a few minutes, a men came to me and ask me very nicely if they really are for free.

Yes, they are. Would you like one? ( but in my mind… “really, a man… again …why? off … ) I just give him a flower, people around as start watching me.

I just start to have a little more courage, asking the first women in front of me ” would you like a flower? si for free “, and she take it. A really beautiful smile she just gives it to me. I start to feel good.

A man stops in front of me and asks me — “what is the reason for giving free flowers on the streets”. My answer was very short “you don’t need a reason to offer a flower to a woman”, but in my mind, I just have different thought “don’t you even think about it to ask for a flower”.

I just saw a woman from 5 m distance coming to me. She tries to give me money for the flower, I explain to her that flowers are for free. She really was happy and smile. I was filling well. A couple on my left was watching me, they were taking between them. The man starts coming to me, I go to him and give him a flower, I was watching him how he go to the lady give her the flower. That was for me a great feeling, to see people smile because of me. Another woman from the bus station cames directly to me and ask me if she can have one. Yes, of course, is my pleasure. The last flowers I give it to another woman, I just get another smile.

From flowers to work

I just finish with the flowers and go to work. It was like 9 o’clock, usually, I start working at 7:30. I just meet with my supervisor Matthew, one of my best supervisor. He knows already about the flowers and what I’m doing, hi like’s my idea. He just sends me with Iury ( my Russian friend), start working with him on the tower. We have some mastic to clean.

After 2 hours working with Iury, our manager James came to us, asking us what are we doing there on top. Explain to him we are preparing the top and cleaning for wood bords what is coming there. Then he just asks me:

-Marian, are you give flowers on the streets for free?

– Yes, ( I just answering him)

-Why? why are you this? just like that give it for free?

– Is long story, but I like to see people smiling, it makes me fill well

– O oo is very nice of you, for what are you doing. ( he told me)

-Thank a lot ( I said)

Iury was next to me on top of the tower. He listens to all the conversation what we have.

– For this, he deserves a raise ( he just said to James, our manager )

-YOU SUCK (James just told him)

All of us start laughing. It was a great day. For me that job in Old Street is finished, I’m gone miss the team. There was one of my best team.

Everyone can be a Romeo

You can be a Romeo

I can be, All of us can be a Romeo. I just want to explain to you, that “Romeo” is not only one person. It is true about the name, there are a lot of persons who have this name Romeo. ( given by the parents)

But here in Shades of Romeo is not about that persons, is about Shakespeare, that Romeo from Romeo and Juliet. Almost every persons know the opera. There is about Love and tragedy, but we speak about love. That Love what all of us we are looking for, and we want to find it. That type of love. “When you fell butterfly in your stomach”, to be in love again like it was when you were young, high school love.

I’m sure that everyone has something to say about love, there are a lot of ways to speak or write about it. I just want to speak about giving flowers to the person you love. This is one of many ways to show your love. In the same time, you just became a ” Romeo “.Yep, that Romeo what he is looking for love and bring love. I just hate guys when they say that they don’t offer flowers, they don’t like to do it, it’s old style, he tried to look so tough guy…but he has a tattoo with roses on his arm. Upsy… and I have to believe him.

We have to accept what we are, who we are and what makes us feel good and to be a nice person too. I just love to offer flowers, for me is like a hobby. A lot of friends ask me: ” you buy flowers and offer for free, you just lose money in this way”. Yes and no, always this is my answer. I just want to create a new day of love, same as Valentine Day. ” Shades of Romeo — A new day of Love”.I think for a woman is not enough to get flowers only 1 or 2 times per year. Like a man, we love

the woman, we like to make love with them, to admire their body, to filling their love, but we have to do something too, for that.

That’s why I guess you agree with me and when you offer flowers to the person you love, you just became a Romeo. Be that Romeo for your Juliet and nobody needs to know, only your love.

From enthusiastic to disappointed

Shades Of Romeo - A new day of Love

Today is Thursday 19/07, I just take a free day from work. I have almost 3 weeks of work, every day. A good opportunity to go to Vauxhall market to buy more flowers. I just find there some colored orchids. They were small and really cute, 15 the number.

After I buy them I take the bus to go back to Liverpool Station, is more easy for me to go direct with the train to Ilford, where I live in.

I go to City Point square, is a nice place there with a lot of benches. I let there 5 of them, I start to feel enthusiastic again. Is something that I like to do it, I take a few pictures and go. Still, 10 flowers have to go.

I just find another nice spot and I start to let the flowers there. I just put there 4 orchids and the security guy was next to me. Try to explain to him what I’m doing and I just take some pictures for a website. Next, to us, an asiatic guy came and assist with our conversation. ” It’s for free? ok, thanks a lot” and he starts to take all of them. ” It’s for my wife, she loves flowers”.

The russian (I have 1,83 m …but he was a big guy next to me) security guy was watching me, the short guy next to me takes all the flowers, and I could take only one picture. I just hope he is not gone sell the flowers, he will give it for free.

And because of this, I change “the way”. I start to let only one flower, I think is better like this. In the small park, bus station, on the slab, in the Liverpool Station, even on the train.

Shades Of Romeo - A new day of Love

When was the last time you get flowers?
