about

The Same Sky - a love song inspired by an old story. Something about the symmetry and scent of the addictive little alpine flower – the Primula auricula – recalls memories of the past for many, and inspired us to investigate it’s history. We discovered a fascinating historical folk tale of persecution, love and loss. Picture how the flower will have grown on mountainsides as Roman Legions crossed the continent, and how by the 16th century it was cultivated by Huguenot people in what is now France and Belgium. The Huguenots were crafts men and women. They were weavers, and horticulturists. They were the first people to be called ‘florists’. In the 16th century the Huguenot people suffered persecution in the wars of religion. They left their homeland as refugees and many settled here in England. Of course as well as a historical tale this is is a story of love, loss and a new beginning.
