Food on day one was ginger beef with tomato based gravy followed by bread and butter pudding or sliced orange with sugar syrup and the best coffee cake I have ever had. Food on day two was pork, kouskous and ? followed by prune and almond sponge and yummy coffee cake again. Their coffee is very good



Sounds like a normal day of my wifes cooking.

Wol Staines told me today he is bringing snowdrops to sell at the Early Bulb day. Start saving your pennies!

Good grief-- Anthony  and the Fanatics will have the poor chap trampled underfoot.....  You'd best tell Wol to get a kevlar vest or somesuch... he'll need it, I reckon! :P


Anthony  and the Fanatics are not, by the way, a modern beat music combo  :-X

can I ask...  What is the early bulb show?  Is it early flowering bulbs?  Or a sale of bulbs early in the year (or early in the morning?).  And is it anywhere I can get to from Kent easily by public transport (if publich transport ever starts to work again after the 3 inches of snow that made it collapse completely!   ::))

Sorry all if I am asking an obvious question.

cheers

John, Early Bulb Day is the first SRGC event of the Year.... see here: http://www.srgc.org.uk/smf/index.php?topic=2747.0 ...and various other threads from previous years.... it is a non-competitive display of early bulbs and alpines, in Dunblane, near Stirling, Scotland, with sales from specialist nurseries, the SRGC Club Plant Stall,  great home made soup ( I believe Anthony is consulting his recipe books even as I type  :D ) and, to top the lot, two talks..... but this year, we're getting four short talks... it is just a super day ....but perhaps a bit far for you to make a day trip of  :'(

well I happen to known a brilliant cook who can make something outta nothing and could rustle up a flask for myself ;D

I'm seeing Wol on Saturday and will warn him but I get first pick of the Scottish 'drops.

I know it's been asked before but who's going to Glen Chantry, not a best kept secret Scottish glen, on Saturday?

I asked the same question and nobody replied.

Judging by the conditions not sure it will be on.
