    Also, make sure you know what her favourite types of cake are. Then, when you arrive, you escort her to a seat and ask her if she would like a nice cuppa and a piece of cake after the arduous journey.

    Mrs Shiney will also have some of her very reasonably priced pendants and bracelets (and other crafts she makes) for sale. I'm sure Mrs Vince would love to look at them. :blue thumb:

          I don't know whether she has any photographed but, as she's out at the moment, I've quickly grabbed a few and taken a few quick shots. Didn't bother to set it up properly or get the correct lighting so the colours are not quite true.

          She also paints, makes glass plates, bowls and lots of other things

            Don't think so, Jazmine. I know that ARMANDII is in the next village and Zigs, Willow, Jenny and Loli are staying just little bit further from Shineyland in the opposite direction but the same road as you. :) Don't know about the others.

              Mrs Shiney is a talented lady. The bracelets and paintings are wonderful. :wub2:

                Gorgeous craft work Mrs S!! :wub2:
                Oooooh, :dancy: bagsy the green one!! (First pic, top left!)

                Unfortunately, there was "no room at the inn" for me ... so, my game plan is to sneak behind the Shiney's potting shed in the dead of night, squeeeeeeeze into a flower pot and occasionally whisper, in a high voice: "Babap ickle Weed" :spinning:

                  I'll ask Mrs Shiney to put it aside for you if you wish. :blue thumb:

                    I would have loved to have come to see your garden shiney but alas I will be out of the country :cry3:
                    I wish you all the best for the day, it looks amazing and a very worthwhile cause.

                        Vince, it is Bank Holiday weekend, but the actual bank holiday is the 27th (so you might be able to squeeze in Saturday the 25th? As a day trip?)

                          Dog show is on the Sunday, our friend lives in outer Wales, not even I have the fortitude to drive up to Wales, then onto Lancashire, do a full day show then back to Wales, then back home!

                          I know I did Scotland and back in a day but nothing was going to stop me bringing Arwen back home!

                          We'll probably give this dog show a miss anyway, give the other Ute owners a chance?

                          To be truthful, I doubt our friend in Outer Wales will be fit enough, she'll be having major surgery on her arm mid May!
