Alexandra's is a strange sort of place. On one side of the shop, it looks like a typical small local florist, offering a modest selection of pretty flower arrangements at reasonable prices.
However, the other side of the shop is somewhat different as it sells various confectioneries from numerous jars of sweets on the shelves behind the till. The set up reminds me a bit of that sweet shop at the start of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Y'know, the little one before all the short brown men start popping up singing and dancing.
The shop itself is very charming as it offers a variety of bits and bobs, including small children's toys, as well as having a small area at the back of the shop where hot drinks can be purchased and drank in a peaceful, friendly environment.
An interesting, fascinating place to visit. read more
