Yemen, what a country ... Haraz mountains, Socotra, Sana'a, Hadramaut, the empty quarter.... a country of stunning, mind altering beauty...and the friendliest of people.

and finally...

I can truly recommend a visit to the show. It has something for everyone (and every type of gardening interest) and if you feet get tired then you can always relax and listen to one of the six bands that play throughout the day (jazz, blues, silver, brass but not pop or rock).

Was going to go this year, but didn't get around to organising myself grrrr.  I love that show, its my favourite of all of them.  Bravo Edrom, yet again!!!  Sad though, that there is to be no alpine show there this Saturday.... but I can understand why its been discontinued.  We, the people who bring plants, can't leave them there all week, and they, the show co-ordinators, can't afford to 'waste' a tent for four days until our Saturday show.  Never mind, it was nice while it lasted....

A real "tour de force" there Frazer, taking and then posting so many images. A great view of what is obviously a very big show, for those who couldn't be there. Thank you very much. :D
