Sounds like you all had a good time, and a sunny day. Food sounds good, a bit far fo me to travel, but look forward to seeing plctures and love to the cats.

What another lovely day! A few less of us this year, Thanks so much to Betty ( and Colin) for being the gracious hosts for our meet up. I didn't take photos but hopefully there will be some photos shared. Very impressed with the train for punctuality, though whats with NO seats on the platform at Birmingham New Street!? Don't expect to see a woman having to sit on the concrete floor to feed her baby in 21st Century  Britain.
Hope everyone got back home safe and sound. Harriet was a delight

I was thinking about everyone at the get together yesterday afternoon and hoping the weather was as nice as it was here. I'm glad it was and the day sounds like a great success. Looking forward to the pictures

I'm so glad that those who came enjoyed the day, and weren't we lucky with the weather!
Because it had rained so much in the morning I thought it would be best to have the food
inside the veranda.  Big mistake.  It was so hot in there that I had to stand outside to cool
down.  But it was nice to be able to walk round the site in the sunshine.  The time seemed to
pass too quickly and I'm afraid I didn't take many photos apart from these two. The man
nearest the camera on the left is my husband Colin, it was the first time he has been to one
of our get-togethers because he is usually in Sicily at this time.  Harriet couldn't wait to meet
the cats and luckily Red Fred was on my plot and was quite happy to be stroked while
he ate some treats.  Harriet was such a good little girl, she is a real credit to Louise and Paul.

Lovely afternoon.  Enjoyed meeting everyone.  Weather lovely.  Special thanks to Squash for hosting this.

Big thanks to Teresina, she was so interesting.  Really impressed by her knitted linen top.   

Walk round the site as usual so inspirational.   

Many thanks everyone.

Sorry to be late in posting but John and I have just got back from Birmingham today.  We stayed for a week and made a holiday of it but didn't have Wi-Fi in the campsite where we were staying.

We really enjoyed Sunday and would like to say a big thank you to Betty for organising it all.  Thanks too for all those members that came along and bought such delicious food.  It was so good to see everyone again and to have another look around the well tended allotments.  I was pleased to learn how flax was grown, treated and taken out of the stalk to produce such a silk like thread for spinning.  I was amazed when I saw the jumper the lady had knitted using the flax.  Her talk on plants used for dying was very interesting too.

Thanks again, Betty, for putting up with us all.  It was a very enjoyable day.

I was really sorry to miss it, but we had a family crisis that day.
