Excellent day at Loughborough - sorry for the quality of the photos they were via the phone

However plenty of trade stands - plants on display were good - came home with some new bits

Another good show day, by the looks of it!  Tell the truth now, Chas - Martinr had already eaten all that carrot cake, hadn't he?  ;) ::) ;D

Oh no, too bad!  Never easy being a Show Sec. is it?  Looks like a good show though - are you pleased with how it went?  The benches looked fuller than Harlow, I thought?

We're very pleased. Significantly fewer entries than normal (whatever that is) but enough to make the hall look full. The general quality of exhibits was excellent and the new catering arrangements worked well, needs a few tweaks for next time. Did miss the bacon butties though! Nurseries appeared happy with the visitor numbers and the depth of their pockets :)

Need sleep now......goodnight

  I think that  Lawrence spent so much money on new Saxifragas,   the April date is when he will next be able to afford  food!  ::) :o ;D ;D
