This three-wheel Empolini 50
made a new debut today
(Friday 2nd February 2018) ~
fulfilling for the first time
a very different role for itself.
It is now a proud part of
Moonraker & Rose (freelance florist)
who gave the motorised trike
its first day out with flowers at
the Wiltshire Farmers' Market
held at the northern end of
Three Horseshoes Walk, Warminster.
Originally Milan-made, it has
been restored by
J. & G. Vehicle Repairs Ltd.,
at Stephens Way, Warminster.
The driver's seat.
Lindsey Winter
(pictured here with the Empolini)
is the proprietor of
Moonraker & Rose.
Until now she had been running her
"flowers for friends" business
from her home in Bishopstrow
(it was launched in 2016)
but has now decided to also sell
(it was launched in 2016)
but has now decided to also sell
flowers at markets and events.
Moonraker & Rose.
Lindsey says:
"As a Lancashire lass living and working
in
Wiltshire 'Moonraker & Rose' seemed an
obvious and most fitting name. Wiltshire folks
are often referred to as 'Moonrakers'
are often referred to as 'Moonrakers'
and
Lancashire is the 'Red Rose' County!"
Cut flowers, sold individually,
will be the feature at markets
for Moonraker & Rose.
Customers can select their own
or Lindsey will pick them out for you.
Ruscus 50p each.
Rosa Avalanche £1.20 each.
Rosa Snowflake £1.00 each.
Scabiosa 50p each.
Veronica £1.00 each.
Thistle 80p each.
And waxed flowers too.
At the markets, Lindsey wraps the
flowers in brown paper, and with
recycling in mind, the wrapping also
includes old pages of the Warminster Journal.
The services of Moonraker & Rose
also include flowers for weddings
and other occasions, and Lindsey
also shares flowers with residential homes,
providing colour and creativity, as well as
stimulating interest for the elderly.
Services provided by Moonraker & Rose
and sample price lists for wedding flowers,
etc., can be found on the website:
Tomorrow (Saturday 3rd February 2018)

And will be back at the
