Special Invite To Forum Members - 2018

Phew! What a weekend. An airport Friday. Another one today. And a trip to Shineyland in between.

Many thanks to Mr & Mrs Shiney for all your hard work. Wifey and I had a great time. It was so nice to meet all the other GC members that attended. Thank you all for making us feel welcome. I'm now looking forward to next year.

Just to reiterate all the nice things said about Michael and Hanna ,their boundless energy never ceases to amaze me and their commitment to their charity.

The whole event is a cross between a garden party ,a music festival and a flower show.

Hear is a pic. taken quite early ,it is significant because our legend Amandii is on it and as he was the official photographer he proberbly not on many others.
Note in the middle is our very special guest the delightful Canadian Lori.



Here is a special memento she presented us all with linking our two countries.

 

I just want to share this special moment of these special girls singing at Shiney’s all waiting to appear in shows in the West End.
Enjoy.

 

The riff -raff.

 

Who’s who?

 

It's up to members if they want to identify themselves but we don't put names up without permission

I'm the good looking one with Owcho

 

Just got back , lovely time as always and a big thanks to Both the Shineys and the others for making it all possible

 

And thanks to @shiney for the pots, plants and things, @pete for the cacti, @Vince for the tomato & @Beckie76 for the sausage plant

 

And ta to @Scrungee for getting the Gardeners Delight to us in time for distribution so that other members can take part in the naughty experiment

Gardener's Delight Tomato Seed Germination and Growing Thread

 

I nad a great time and really feel tne 3000 mile journey was worth the time I spent with everyone.

@Marley Farley , those are my legs. We Canucks don't believe in shaving our legs until after the hockey playoffs are over....

I loved the geat entertainment, the company and the gardens. The herb garden fascinated me. The wonderful fragrances of the various herbs was a bonus for me.

I bought some interesting books and am thrilled to report that one includes a recipe for Choocolate and Beetroot cake and maybe I'll make it and ship it to a certain member who talked aboutà this veggiee

I'm glad everyone likes their pins. Our provincial flag is my favourite Canadian flag because I have always loved the Union Jack. We were taught how to draw and colour in the Union Jack when I was in the lower grades. And of course I have always thought the Tillium was a great selection for our provincial flower.

@shiney please tell Mrs. Shiney that I found her fascinating and would have loved to spend more time listening to what knowledge she generously shares.

To everyone. I couldn't be happier

 

And of course to lovely Lori, her pin and all the naughty things she brought me from Canada
