Buckets and bouquets

BOUQUETS to P & G Bakery Café, which is now running Geelong Botanic Garden’s teahouse. After attending twice already, I can highly recommend the coffee, slices and salad rolls. Also, the service is friendly and efficient.
Botanic Gardens Lover, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to Geelong West’s Damian and Travis for assisting me when my car broke down in pouring rain on Pakington St. Their kindness and generosity was unexpected and highly appreciated. They are upstanding members of our community.
Grateful Grandmother, Newtown

BOUQUETS to Bamganie Pet Cremation Service’s Jill for her compassion, attention to detail and professional service during a difficult time. Her kindness was greatly appreciated and will never be forgotten.
Caroline, Jennie and Dennis, Corio

BUCKETS to an obese person who used a disabled parking space without a permit. Sorry, your condition does not entitle you to park wherever you like. Choosing a park further from the shop might help, too. Where are the parking inspectors when they are needed?
Angry Shopper, Highton

BOUQUETS to Ripper Roasts for expert and generous catering for our church function on 30 August. A lot of stress was lifted from our shoulders, allowing us to enjoy a great meal for many guests with minimum effort.
Grateful Diners, Geelong West

BUCKETS to mums endangering their kids’ lives by letting them out the driver-side passenger doors onto busy roads outside schools. It’s frightening how thick some parents are.
Concerned Dad, Newtown

BOUQUETS to Laura, Lauren and three others who attended a call out on 28 August. What a good job they did.
Grateful Patient, Highton

BOUQUETS to Bellarine Jongleurs for its performance of Sheerluck Holmes at the Potato Shed on Saturday. The performers were all talented young people who loved what they were doing.
Surprised, Newcomb

BUCKETS to John Fairnie (Letters, 5 September). So what if the Wathuarong dancers wore red “nappies”. Obviously nowadays they can’t dance naked like their “ancestors”. I bet you don’t wear a kilt without underwear like your own ancestors may have. And if you do, please don’t dance anywhere I’m present.
Give Them A Break, Geelong West

BOUQUETS to Blitz Fitness Studio and its fantastic personal trainers for their help, guidance and support on my journey to be fitter and healthier.
Happy Blitzer, Newtown

BOUQUETS to Nola, who bucketed “selfish people” (Buckets & Bouquets, 5 September). As a café owner, I am annoyed at people sitting at my tables with food and drink from other cafes. They take up room and leave a mess. Anyone who disagrees should put themselves in our shoes.
June, South Geelong

BOUQUETS to Dr Xanthe, Ainslee, Emily and the team at Geelong Animal Emergency for excellent care and service.
Bart The Much Better Corgi, East Geelong

BOUQUETS to Bryan Hart at Max Fry Smash Repairs for excellent, generous and professional service.
Happy Customer, Newtown
