      @Zigs @ARMANDII can anyone tell me what these are that I've bought-the name label is missing and my brain is like a sieve! IMG_5862.JPG

        Many thanks to Michael & Hannah for organizing yet another wonderful day(s).

        It was great to meet up with GC members.

        We would have liked to stay longer but home commitments (dogs), deemed that unrealistic.

        As usual the entertainment was top notch (not all about plants and gardening!)

        Hopefully we can do it all again next year :yay:

          Nice to meet you @Snorky85 , if it was only briefly:smile:
          @Vince I must have missed you.
          Got home about an hour ago, everyone was still enjoying the early evening when I left, and was thinking about the meal.:biggrin:

          Had a good time as usual and nice to meet old faces as well as the new ones.
          Nice to meet you @CanadianLori :biggrin:

              We obviously missed a great day but it seems everyone there had one.
              Look forward to some members pics.:smile:

                    I just wanted to thank Hannah & @shiney for another fabulous day :), the garden looks fabulous & you two, even after all the hard work you've put in look really well :wub2: I don't know how you do it!
                    It was lovely to see the 'regulars' & meet new members.....should I mention the asparagus...ok then if you insist, it was very pert :hapydancsmil:I gave it a little stroke, it felt great! :lunapic 130165696578242 5::lunapic 130165696578242 5:
                    @ziggy the cactus gave me a little prick! :snorky:
                    @ARMANDII I absolutely love my pendant :wub2:, I can't wait to wear it :dancy:. Thank you very much :wub2: you are very kind.
                    @CanadianLori it was so lovely to meet you, thank you for the lovely pin, I will wear it often it's very pretty. :wub2:.
                    I have put Hannah's homemade glass bowl in my kitchen, it looks beautiful...I will post a photo when it's filled with apples, I think red & green apples will look amazing against the blue :), I bought my Kev a small dish for his coins & keys, he's really pleased with it :).
                    Tommorrow I will put my plants in.
                    I hope you all had a great evening at the Indian, please drive safely home.
                    Anyone who hasn't been to shineyland it's a great day out & well worth the trip, it would be great to see more of you next year. :grphg: Xx

                              Hi All,

                              Thanks for coming along. It was really good to see you all. :thumbsup:

                              I've been out there this morning to clear up after the rains of last night - wiped down tables and chairs etc. Have now washed the floors of the kitchen, utility room and toilets :phew: and resting my back before the onslaught of today's lot :rolleyespink:

                              Looking at the weather map it seems to show thunderstorms just as we're about to open! :hate-shocked: I've told it that mustn't happen but I'm not sure I have Power any more. :heehee:

                              I hope some of you took a lot of good photos as I didn't get a chance and we need some for our publicity - no fees paid! :nonofinger: :whistle: :)

                                Shiney it sounds like it never ends :phew:...I just hope your day stops clear of rain and thunder :fingers crossed:

                                Have a wonderful day and when it's finally finished after the hard graft...I hope you both relax after :recliner:
