Thanks for posting those Arthur. They really do look wonderful given time to clump up and plenty of space. 8)

I trust the sun will shine on the Gala tomorrow and the weather fully co-operates.  Take lots of pictures.  Moderation... sausage rolls that is.

Tomorrow was meant to be the Moray Groups snowdrop day... that stalwart of the group and club Ronnie Loveland had organised visits to three gardens in Moray that have wonderful displays... has now been postponed until 28 Feb. when I really do hope the snow will have gone  >:( >:(

Arthur,

Many thanks to you and your friend for an excellent display of snowdrop photographs.

This seems to be a very special day for snowdrops on the forum as we have also had great displays from Diane and Kata.

If I were there  - you wouldn't see me, as I would be camouflaged!   ::)

But - I will not be, as I can't cope with crowds brandishing their jagged elbows in a desperate
 scramble for that elusive drop.  For this reason you will not encounter me in the gala maelstrom.

I hope everyone has a really wonderful day and I want to see loads of photos.

Have a great time all.

But you could always be super cool, hang back and just chat to your friends and affect a total disdain for the maelstrom.  As long, that is, as you could cope with the knowledge that you might have missed your chance to get that elusive snowdrop you have been wanting.

By the way, I will be at the Gala but if I don't seem to acknowledge you (whosoever you are) please say hello as I am just really really awful at recognising people.

Alan, just wear a floppy hat and a very long knitted scarf then people will recognise you. ;D

Who are you implying he looks like? He might need a doctor after that comment.
