Kata! How wonderful.... I'm glad its raining with you so we can share this torte..... cake and flowers, what could be nicer!
It was a lovely day here, so this afternoon I walked with Lily to visit my dear friends Brian and Maureen Wilson, also Forumists. Brian has been in hospital and faces difficult treatment for his illness but remains determined to succeed. They are frustrated at the number of tasks waiting to be done in the garden but I saw only beautiful signs of growth for the Spring to come......especially Helleborus thibetanus which was showing lots of colour and clumping up very well. Brian's brusselsprout crop looks terrific!
I was cheered to hear the happy news of the safe arrival of their second grandchild, a brother for little Anna.

Would take the next flight, but my "Master" said: too much cream on it. Sorry   :-[

Kata and Luit, you are now both fully qualified members of the Scottish Rock Garden Cake and Cooking Club. Well done. Yours latest efforts look quite delicious. :)

Maggi, I believe you are closely associated with the Show Schedule. I can see a time in the near future when there will have to be classes for cakes, pies etc. Provision will have to be made for overseas members to have their entries couriered to the venue. Judges of course will want to sample each.

Anne, wait patiently in the queue ;) Besides, what qualifications do you have? You look a bit thin to me. ???
Lesley, another excellent Idea, and one which I am sure will find favour with the Pudsley Piglets, also.
Luit and Vroni ( who I suspect may have been responsible for Luit's yummy offering) already have attended an Aberdeen show, so they will know their own way here.... though of course, they are most welcome here, with or without cakes and pies!! 8)

Show Schedules are already printed. Do you need an insert for the new section at Aberdeen 2008 ;D

Maggi, we will seriously think about this.   :-\  And yes, this yummi was a Dutch one with Austrian flair ;)
