Maggi hasn't mentioned it - but I bet she has her eye on that silver jewellery!   :)

I love the two paintings of the snowdrops in the snow.
They would look great on my wall.

Hare Ball was for sale at £590 , it hadnt sold as of yesterday ! It was my favourite.

Fascinating event and I imagine it will be repeated in view of how many people visit snowdrop gardens - and especially if you have a display of varieties on Show. Tie it in with an early Alpine Show and you would really have the biscuit!

A snowdrop theatre is a great idea - can't see why the gallery wouldn't love that . Well done Emma!

Hi There,
   Is anyone else on the forum a fan of the Neocube? (A set of 216 magnetic spheres) Here is a model of a snowdrop!

I've not seen then - but most impressive Tim - how long did that take to put together?

Hi John,
   It was a couple of hours, messing about in front of a roaring fire! If you search Youtube for “neocube 216“, you’ll see lots of examples of them being played with.
