No even when we get over 200 guests they soon get dispersed in a 12 acre site.. Sometimes it's busy for the first hour. I'd be there at Opening if you are coming to buy something "rare" like the white Agapanthus as there are only half a dozen..
See you next time Fork..  :)

We are all waiting to hear how it goes.  Wish I lived nearer and would be round there enjoying.  Let's hope he has good weather, quite pleasant her in sunny Enfield.

As Borlotti says maybe a bridge too far, good luck Saddad and Deb, hope the weather is as good as it is here in Sunny Enfield.    8)      ;D ;D ;D

We've had a lovely day. Thank-you so much for your kindness. What lovely people. We had a guided tour by Alison, stopped chatting to several people who gave us produce. We saw Deb's shed, wonderful. I want one. Bought some bits & bobs. The only disappointment was that we didn't meet any other boarders. Maybe next time.
Hope you enjoyed it Saddad.
Thanks again.

I was hidden by those high hedges, Grannyjanny - maybe next time we need tattoos on our faces! I had a lovely walk around, the plotters were very welcoming.  Well done to all concerned, see you next year.

Forgot to mention we also met Deb P who is lovely. She very kindly gave us a lesson in pruning our oblique  cordon fruit trees. We can now do it with confidence. Many thanks Deb.

Well done too Saddad, wish we could have an open day like yours.  :'(

We've really got so sort this identity thing out, the T-shirt idea didn't really go down a bundle, but a badge is more realistic - I'd be really proud to wear one. Someone please have a go at designing one.
