Well done Shiney, looks like you had a successful day, wish I could of come to experience it all, looks like you had glorious weather too! Lovely pictures, what I would like to know is, who is who on the photos?, Shiney are you on them?

 

Lovely pictures Shiney, so that’s Mr Shiney, and I’m guessing that’s you in the stripy top?

 

You all look so friendly and at home there! Obviously missed out there

 

Same here Verdun

 

Now we know what fat controller looks like

 

Just got back. My apologies for not posting sooner, rubbish WiFi at the campsite. Not much I can add to what’s already been said. As expected, shiney and Hannah were great hosts and it was a real pleasure to wander around their creation, their garden. The music (musicians) coupled with the company made for a most pleasant atmosphere. It was good to meet up with @Fat Controller , @JWK , @Jack Sparrow , @Beckie76 , @roders and @Snorky85 along with their respective partners, such a lovely and friendly bunch. Also finally met Kristen, a prolific poster from days of yore. He brought along some photos of his work in progress at his little ‘patch’ (7 acres), mighty impressive. We did of course reflect on ‘our’ good friend @ARMANDII , I really hope he’s ok. Following his advice I have a Clematis, Armandii ‘Enham Star’ against my pergola, so I’ll always be reminded. We bought a few plants, as you do, just have find a home for them now
It was good to finally find out what all the laughter was all about the last time we were there. Yes, the asparagus. You’re very naughty Becky
The day was nicely rounded off with a curry. Mine was at the limit of my tolerance, but wonderfully tasty, perfic. Anyone thinking of going next year, don’t dither, mark the date in your calendar, you won’t be disappointed

Thanks again to the hosts, for a memorable day, and your fundraising efforts

 

Good evening folks....I have to say I’m very upset no one took a photo of my long pert asparagus ......have no fear here he is looking rather.........pert! I hope you are all impressed by his size!!!!

 

Thank you so much Hannah & @shiney for once again making us all so welcome in your beautiful garden....my day trip to Shineyland is my most favourite day of the year . It was so lovely to see everyone again (roll on next year ), the cake & tea were as delicious as ever, the garden is looking fantastic & the plant stall was fabulous for bargains!
Thank you so much @CanadianLori for the lovely pin, I’m still wearing mine today, you were definitely missed....I hope you can come next year @Snorky85 & I are both happy to have you to stay.
I have to say I really missed our @ARMANDII , I hope we soon hear from him.
It was lovely to meet your wife @Fat Controller & your hubby @Snorky85.
Thanks again Shiney, I hope next year we will have some more members come along xx
