Great photo's everyone :-)  Was really nice to meet everyone even though I don't think I actually talked to many of you.  Sorry I missed the seed swap, was too engrosed in the beautiful gardens.

Thanks Kathi for organising, and I look forward to meeting you all again at future meets.

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

Cleo I agree entirely - I hate photos of myself, but the one PAul took of me smelling the rose is the best I've had taken in a long time - Thanks Paul :-*

Glad everyone enjoyed the day, will try to do something again later in the year or next year - maybe start a new thread later on suggestions for group meets?

Really enjoyed myself, it's the 1st time I've been able to be in a group of people since my breakdown nearly 3 years ago! - so thanks to everyone for making everyone else feel welcome ;)

It was great to meet you all at Barnsdale. I begin to understand why Caroline spends so much time on this forum. I was even persuaded to register myself although Caroline says I can't do that unless I put in some more work on the lottie  :-\

Thanks for the nice comments on the photos. If you want a higher resolution version of you smelling the roses Kathi, then just say and I'll email it.

Kathi, I had no idea you had had problems being in a group - I think you have found your calling - organising events and making people feel welcome.   Please do it again :)  Great pic of you too.

Yay im finally on line and want to express how sorry i am i didnt make it.  Just before i left OH told me my brake lights were out, so had to go and get them fixed... son was moaning he wanted to go to strawberry fair, was running v v late so went straight there... but karma had its way - on the way home i took a wrong turning and didnt realise til i saw the M25!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! major panic - but got some great herbs from the fair.

Looks liek you had the most amazing time - you are all such great photographers!

Glad you all had a great day, the pics are really great. I would have loved to have been with you but was off to Devon for a week. Did manage to have an enjoyable hour or so with Kathi and Pauline on the Friday 1stJune. when they popped in to see me.

Lovely pictures everyone.  I haven't been for two years but think I will have to try this weekend.  Does anyone want to baby sit for a 2 and a 4 yr old?.....

Cambourne I missed GW so cant comment, but my MIL watched it and said it was lovely to see it agian, as she last went two years ago as well for our wedding.  We got married in the conservatory in the paradise garden if you saw that.

[Marymary]

Wow what a lovely place for a wedding. 

I missed GW too - was it good?

[cambourne7]

there was a couple of nice shots of barnsdale but the rest of GW stunk as usual.

[caroline7758]

I caught a re-run of a GW with Geoff Hamilton on UKtv Gardens the other day- showing the making of the "Reclaim" garden! :D

[carolinej]

I loved the way Geof Hamilton used old junk. A man after my own heart ;D
