    Here are a few photos that I took before the rush - at 7 a.m.

    The plant sales tables are just a small part of the amount of plants for sale (also thanks to our GC friends who brought plants along)

      Did someone leave a fold up umbrella? We'll keep it for you for next year - unless your travelling this way, when you all know you're welcome to pop in for a chat and tea (or lunch if you time it right :snork:) :dbgrtmb:

        All looks fantastic @shiney, good luck today, hope the weather stays kind for you. I will have to try and make the long journey before anno domini completely sets in. I know you live close to Stansted but the thought of coming down and not being able to buy plants...well:yikes::yikes:. I ll try and see if I can get daughter or her boyfriend to organise to have a trip down to near you and get dropped off then picked up on their return journey. Bet you don't have too many visitors arriving in one of these.

        Sure you'd manage to find somewhere it could be parked up if necessary:).

            That's a very kind offer @Beckie76 which I might well take you up on. The idea of appearing in an arctic does somewhat appeal however as that should just about have enough space for loads of plants which I'd be sure to want to buy despite having had my own mini, in comparison to Shiney's, charity plant sale because I had SO many plants!

              it's lovely to see all the pictures! Sorry I was not able to come this year, had a work event on the Saturday and the public transport here is not good on Sundays, but hope everyone had a brilliant time.

                  Great turnout as usual Michael, was good to see all the GC crew in attendance, sorry I missed a few of you, and sorry I couldn't stay longer as I had other places I needed to go to as well.

                  Hopefully I may try to stay for a curry next year ;)

                  Hope those Chilli plants I brought with me have found new homes ;)

                    But it really came in handy for the walk down your front pathway; after that it was surplus to requirements and I simply ... got fed up of carting it around ... forgot :dunno: :lunapic 130165696578242 5:

                        No but he often disappears into his dark room after a Shiney weekend to sift through the 300+ photo's he takes. Mind you, he usually surfaces for a gulp of air before now :scratch:
