I wouldn't be a bit surprised if a lot of the Continentals are booked to attend the RBGE event already.... it would be good to help them get a clear road there though!


Isn't the woman in the lovely patterned/embroidered jacket, Jo ?? :D

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


Does that mean we'll only get the leftovers at Dunblane? :(

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!   ::))

cheers

I think GNER operate a direct train from London that goes through Stirling (it passes through Dunblane, but doesn't stop) arriving around about 6.30 p.m.?

I think I met him at Colesbourne in 2007 - can't remember his name though.  :-[

According to their web site, http://www.brandymount.co.uk/ , Brandy Mount House (who hold a National Collection of Snowdrops) have cancelled their Open Days on 7th and 8th February.  They have provisionally scheduled 21st and 22nd February as substitutes.

and if Wol or Sue are taking the tickets it doesnt matter

Says you.  It is not the case Mark - I tried to change from Saturday to Friday, but Wol was unable to accept greater numbers for the previous day.

I guess last years gala, I seem to remember a big hall, mind you my surroundings were not my main priority ;D ;D

The snow is thick again here today, Its wet and heavy and flattening shrubs. My ( big, 10ft high ) black stem bamboo was flat on the flower bed, pinned down on top of SNOWDROPS  :o :o :o
