I'll be coming briefly with seeds as promised then off to Strawberry Fair. OH has bailed out on the fair - typical but poor me and little son have been stuck in the house ALL week and he is really looking forward to getting out.

So see you there ;D

Have a great day today guys  ;D ...  wish I could be there too !!

OMG I'm so embarrassed   :-[

I didn't realise i was on the list and didn't check the thread until this morning - but I can't come!  :'(

If i owe dosh for the entrance fee please let me know and I'll send it straight away, i don't want anyone having to cough up because of my stupidity   :-X

PS If anyone's read this before leaving home (shades?) would you pass my message on?  And I hope you all have a super time! x

A great day was had by all I think-bright sunshine. I left early to do the watering so am just waiting for our guests to arrive

Had a superb day, great to see people 'in the flesh'!! Thanks to Kathi for organising it, and the seed swap (I got some beans to replace my frosted ones that I lost this week so I am well pleased!!!)

I've just downloaded a few photos of some of the gardens, I'm sure that there are lots of us all to follow!









If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

I thought I would do it quickly before I have to shoot off down the lottie and sort out the rest of the plants for the Open Day and plant sale tomorrow........or Saddad will be on my case.......! ;D

Hi Kathi, John and I would like to thank you for organising great day for us, it is easier said than done and we appreciate how much time you put into this.

It was smashing to meet so many of you all, thank you for sharing your seeds and yourselves with us, it was a delightful day.

John as you noticed is very quiet but he was quite taken with the fact that it seemed that  so many folks coming together who he thought were strangers quickly became firm friends.

Kathi ,thank you again,

Jeannine and John XXXXXXXXX

Hi everyone,

Mark and I had a really fab day today.  Weather was brilliant, company even better!  It was lovely to meet you all and a big thanks to Kathi for organising everything.

It was great to see the veg plots and very encouraging to see that it looks like we might be getting at least some of it right  ;)

Got a few more seeds now so it looks like more of the lawn's got to go (don't tell the kids!)

Looking forward to next year's event.

Linda & Mark

I agree it was a lovely day out, Peter & I really enjoyed it & the weather was amazing.  Beautiful place too & so nice to meet so many of you in the flesh.  Looking forward to next year too - maybe name badges would be a good idea  :)

Thanks ever so much Kathi for organising it - brilliant idea & loved the hair.  ;D will try & post pics later.
