SUNDAY DRIVE: BODEINE
MORRIS OXFORD UTE 1952
AS TOLD TO Joshua Brosnahan PHOTO Corentin Esquenet
This is Olive. We named her so because we just wanted something botanical for our business, Blooming Local. We are a local small business designing beautiful seasonal flower arrangements with a focus on sustainability and environmental mindfulness.
The name just seemed to suit her. We purchased Olive almost as-is – we added the canvas canopy and the woodwork inside the deck for shelving for the flowers. We also did some minor motor work on her. She attracts people of all ages, and they can’t help but smile! I love hearing people’s experiences with having a Morris. It’s quite nostalgic for some people.
