          Great to hear that you all enjoyed the weekend - it looks as if you all had a happy time and the venue looks amazing - I really do wish that I had been able to be there with you all. Hopefully next time!
          Well done to Mr and Mrs Shiney and to all those that travelled miles to be there.

              Little James Clueless stole everyone's heart Java& Me. He was the sweetest little chap you could ever wish to meet. Extremely well behaved and he enjoyed his day out with his Mum and Dad.
              All lovely cameos of paradise Armandii. I especially like the Spanish dancers sequence piccies,
              thank you for being GC's on the spot Camera man,
              Jenny

                      This is my kind of Green House, full of plants to make you drool!!! I would have spent all day in there given the chance

                      Passport control into Shiney Land. Hand in your Passport and a body search to get in. The Lady welcoming every body was a real stalwart. She was there first thing in the morning braving the early morning cool breeze and stayed there all day with a smile. I did hear rumours that she was an ex-Rugby player and would Rugby Tackle any one trying to get in without contributing to the Shiney Land Charity.:snork:

                        I do hope the young lady that wandered into the tour has a look in here, I gave her a GC card and invited her to stay on the tour but I think she was a little embarrassed, such a shame.
