THAME'S long-established flower stall has moved for only the third time in its 21-year history - but the couple who run it say business is still blooming.
Sarah and Richard Bull, who live in Chinnor, have been selling flowers in the town for over two decades.

They used to set up the stall outside the Woolwich building on the High Street.

The building has now been sold however and the new owners have asked them to relocate elsewhere.

According to the building owners, the flower stall would have obstructed the view, which is fair enough," said Mrs Bull.

For 16 years, the couple ran their stall outside the Birdcage pub, but when the owner started serving food with tables and chairs outside, they moved next door to the Woolwich building before they moved again.

The new location, just in front of the Masonic Hall in the High Street, was suggested to them by a friend. Thame Town Council had no objections to the site and have fully supported the stall's relocation.

Mrs Bull said: "The Mayor, Don Butler, has been really helpful. A few of our customers know we are here but other than that it's just word of mouth. There's been two or three people who didn't know we were here.

Over the years we have had some very good and loyal customers, and many of them still come to us."

The couple said that they started their business in Chinnor but they moved to Thame because of the business available in the town.

"We just felt that there was an opportunity in Thame to sell flowers," added Mrs Bull.
