The Ultimate Snowdrop Sale, Myddleton House 2015

[Matt T]

We can see the cuff of a greenish jacket, similar colour to the one the chap at Andrew's stall in IMG_0658w is wearing. Also, the chap in that image has his wallet out (but judging from the videos, who didn't?). An educated (but incorrect) guess.

 Brilliant! I love you folks - great detectives even if you're not Belgian! 

[Dean C]

I'm sorry I missed you, Dean; I always fail to recognise some of the people I should.  Somehow I even missed seeing John Grimshaw, although he must have been close behind me in the queue.

Alan, I met a lot of Facebook and Forum friends, but considering the fine array of hats, scarves, coats, thermals etc I think perhaps most of us don't look as we do in profile pics! There's always next year!

You are on the right lines re the jacket but wrong person.  Different hat and the one in 0658 is smiling.  How do you know he's not Belgian Maggi?

I know Matt- I know he's a Brit - not Hercule Poirot.......

Yeees I've made the media that's me in the bottom left photo next to the woman in the red coat. Question is - is that a look of 'which one should I buy' or ' where the hell is Green Dragon I'm sure I saw it here ten seconds ago....

We spoke briefly in the rock garden I think, we should definitely have some sort of form of recognition for forum members!

Well I didn't give you much to go on Matt and you must have looked at lots of green coats in the pictures so here is the answer and well done!

I remember now Brian, I definitely think forum members need some kind of badge or some kind of masonic secret signal. Myddleton was certainly an eye opener and a fantastic event and seeing where Bowles gardened especially the famous rockery was the icing on the cake.
Who is going to the last opening of 'The patch'? Perhaps a meet up there?

And I was checking to see if I had enough money for a sausage roll.

[Alan_b]

You mean enough money left to buy a sausage roll after all your snowdrop purchases, Steve?

[steve owen]

The snowdrops account for my emaciated appearance.
