[David King]

I am a little late to this post,having left the sale around 12 to then travel home and onto Stafford,with my sons

What can I say yet another great sales event at Myddleton House,and I did find 3 drops that were on my most wanted list ,and also to mention that a very very kind forum member who had heard of my plight with a certain bulb, came to me in the car park with a pot of the said bulb to replace the ones that I had lost......a huge thank you to him

Cracking photo's David and thanks for the one of Jan

Great also to meet and chat with forum members there. I don't know if David would have a wide angle lens to get everyone in on a group photo
We are now looking forward to Shaftesbury.....................and maybe more purchases 

[Maggi Young]

Well that seems ok

 Great fun - I enjoy a film of an evening .....

Yep got one of those a 10 x 20 so can go very wide. Have had a coach load in picture with room to spare. Could even put it on a tripod and run into it myself!

You're welcome, hope you all had a good trip back.

We had a good trip back Richard, thank you for asking. Arrived home at 1.30 hour in the night.....
When having a look in the garden, there was no snowdrop to find......all covered with snow 

But with some nice additions to my collecting waiting to be planted outide still in the cold house, I still have snowdrops to look at 

[snowdropcollector]

Great to "see " you there in the pictures, Richard - glad you got some nice 'drops .

Thank you Maggi. It was 'hard work' to get some snowdrops I wanted. But I am happy with them.
We had a real lovely day together with our friends from Belgium.

I still regret not have been able to recognize everybody from the forum.
For next year maybe, we all wear a name badge.......

[chasw]

Yes I think you are right Richard,name badges as at Shaftesbury

I was looking to have a chat with Melvyn Jope, never met Melvyn personal before. When standing in line before the sale started,
a man asked me or I was Freddy from Belgium. I answered him that my parents did give me a different name but that I could introduce him to Freddy, who was with us in the car. On the way back to home I asked or anybody had seen Melvyn......then Freddy told me that the man who was looking for him and I introduced was Melvyn.......

Sorry Melvyn, hopefully we can meet next year

Very disappointed too, how ironic! Please email me  if you plan to come to the UK again before next February.

Richard, are you joining the VRV friends on their trip to the AGS Harlow Show on the  28th February?

[Richard Williams]

This is a second longer video with scenes of the queue, the rush in from two vantage points so hope it works.  There is a sound track.

Great video David, especially from both angles. I was about 6-7 from the front and the idiot ambling towards Joe Sharman's stand, I seriously had not noticed all those running which is why I suppose I did not get Green Dragon.

It was a fantastic day! My first time at Myddelton and what an experience! It reinforced the fact that the snowdrop world is made great by it's people as well as plants. As I'm a newbie on here I possibly didn't get a chance to introduce myself to one or two major contributors to the forum Here are two drops I noticed in the Gardens that caught my eye. The pale hued drop was particularly attractive in the sunlight and the small drop was very diminutive but similar in some respects to Wasp .

Maggi, I will not be at the AGS Harlow Show on the 28th February  . Think for next year I will have to book a hotel for a month to be able to visit more events  .

I will Melvyn, thank you.
