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.
