Thanks for that

 

Ah wish I could come and help you out Shiney. If I wasn't up in Lincoln during the week then I'd have come over to help you. Have you had any update on the roadworks which might have affected the parking situation?

 

I am getting really excited about the get together. When I attended last year, I was extremely impressed. I had had only about 14 hours of sleep in the last several days prior to the open (red eye flight, then 6 hours to get out of Gatwick, 2 nights of loud noise at my accomodations, and then .., well you get my situation)and I didn't have my wits about me however everyone was gracious and treated me like family instead of a lucklaster lump of foreign flesh.

Oh how I wish I could be there again this year!

I can hardly wait to see the pictures and hear the stories. As many who can make it, please do!

You won't regret a moment or feel the trip a burden. I came over 3,000 miles and would leap at it again if I could.

Please everyone, take pictures and share so I can visit vicariously

 

Aww wish you were coming Lori! Can’t you get a last minute flight? Free and quiet accommodation available here.

 

Hoping to get along, I've got a few plants I intend bringing along if there is any interest.
I've done this in the past and Mr & Mrs shiney have ended up with what is left over, not sure that is a good thing or not,.
So I thought I'd come up with a list of what I have available, and anyone interested can reserve anything they fancy, a few pence in the pot is all you need to do.

Here we go, Geranium maderense, not hardy, one year old plants that will flower next year given a good home this summer.
Cyperus alternifolius, this year from seed, grows reasonably fast and does well in a pond once established.
Epiphyllum cuttings from last year, not flowering, pink or white.
Maurandya good hanging basket plant, forms a swollen tuber like root.
Lakemont grape cuttings, rooted last year.
Aloe striatula cuttings, not rooted but root easily and mostly hardy in a sunny spot.
Acacia pravissima 2 yr old plants.
cacti cuttings, rooted last year, some in flower.

EDIT. sorry to cause confusion but I wont be able to make it.

 

What a generous offer and I thank you for it! Unfortunately the flights would cost me more than what I can afford at the moment. The round flight of 7,000 miles would only be the start of getting there. But I must admit that I loved riding the trains over there

 

Aww no worries. If it would help I could always pick you up from the airport too. Anyway, genuine offer there anytime you would like to come back xx

 

@Snorky85 thank you very much!

For now, I'll have to do with this place..

 

OK, I'll put her name on them.
I've got more than one of most things.

 

I'm growing it outdoors, its seedless, but will take a few years to establish.
