What a lovely weekend! Barnsdale was beautiful and it was great to put so many names to faces! Aren't we a friendly lot! We than had a lovely time staying overnight with Stephan (cleo) and Jenny, who were wonderful hosts and have a house and garden I would kill for! Went for a stroll around their village this morning before leaving for home, calling in briefly at Saddad's allotment open day, where we saw DebP again!

Thanks so much to Kathi for organising- just checking, do we owe you any money? We paid at the entrance but hope you got your deposit back?

Here are some pics, taken by Paul. He admits they are taken from a photographer's point of view rather than a gardener's, but hope you enjoy them!

Lots of these around the garden (Persicaria)


And lots of these!


Only one of these- our leader, Kathi

The seedswap!


This little chap kept coming back to say hello!




Cleo and cleo this morning

We have just got back home having stayed the weekend with Kathi and her husband Jon.  What a lovely sunny day at Barnsdale yesterday.   ;D   It was good to meet you all and I would like to add my thanks to Kathi for organising it.  It was wonderful that so many people had travelled so far for the event, especially Grawrc (Anne) who had flown down from Scotland!   

Thanks too for everyone who gave me seeds; they are very much appreciated.

I haven't had time to download my pictures yet but hope to put some on later.  Those that are already on here though are excellent.   I think there should be one of Cambourne7 too which will not show her washing her hair!!  ;D ;D

WOOHOO! Back from Barnsdale now. Ears still popping from the plane... No time to chat right now because we're off to our local Italian restaurant for son Max's birthday.  I loved Barnsdale. I loved you all! What a great group of people. Thanks Kathi for organising it all.

I just asked John if he had put his pictures on the computer yet..he said oh...I forgot to take any. Bless him he carried a camera all day too.
When God blesses you with a multitude of seeds double  the blessing by sharing your  seeds with other folks.

Caroline-you and Paul can come again-Jenny hates photos of herself but  that photo captures her............    the camera never lies. She is thrilled.
