A beautiful bunch of fresh flowers will be sent to Danielle Dunn every month for a whole year, thanks to the Mercury and the Contemporary Flowers florist in Deal.

The floral prize was won by the 30 year-old town planner, of Lower Goldstone in Ash, after entering the Mercury and Contemporary Flowers’s competition to win flowers for a year.

She said: "It is lovely getting fresh flowers delivered."

Rachel Goldsack of Contemporary Flowers, said: "We are very pleased to be able to supply flowers to Danielle.

"It will be a seasonal bouquet of her choice each month.

"She was on her maternity leave, saw it in the paper and decided to enter.

"She has never entered a competition before so she is a worthy winner," she added.
