Thenford Snowdrop Day 2017
« on: February 17, 2017, 07:35:01 PM »
Some shots of today's Snowdrop Day at Thenford House.

Val Bourne and Val Bexley on the Woodchippings stall, very lively as you would expect.

Serious work underway from forumists, the lovely Cheryl, Cherry not only Mum of Emma but snowdrop hat lady and all round cake goddess and Neil (wheelieneily).

The Woodchippings scrum!

Emma and 'the Boss AKA Baron Heseltine, of Thenford.

Head Gardener and Emma, giving the briefing of the day!

A great day all round and Emma's work deservedly praised!

So pleased to see how well this went - another feather in the cap of the talented Ms Thick- I rather think this wouldn't have happened without her input.
Weather was lovely up here today so we were hoping it was good there too- what a relief - though up here it could have been shirt-sleeve order!

Quite apart from the snowdrops, Thenford has a wealth of sculptures - enough to keep the non-galanthophile entertained.

Almost in Scotland.

Yes, but showing a picture of that one seemed too obvious, Emma.
