That's the one.  Looking at it again I have a horrible feeling it may be a SRGC forum member!   

John

Well spotted John, it's me!

 you....and the somewhat fed-up Mrs Quinton, going by her body language!!

[David Quinton]

cold, fed up, not feeling well and in need of the loo by the looks of it!

 So long as Quinton Junior is not bundled up in the rucksack

Have just come back from the gala and would like to make a plea for people to leave their rucksacks at home!  They take up the space of another person and prevent other people from getting to the sales tables as well as being pretty painful when you're swiped in the face etc.

[Maggi Young]

Welcome, Sue!
Did you manage, rucksacks notwithstanding, to fight your way to the sales tables and get some goodies?

Well I suppose that's one way to make an entrance?

Last year at a Hellebore Day at a public garden, we also sold Cyclamen coum
in flower (all sold), some potted elwesii from a wholesaler (four per pot for $3 -
half sold), and pots of flowering  Scharlockii, Lady Beatrix Stanley, and Magnet,
one per pot for $4.  Only seven pots sold.

Diane  - What a tragedy, all those good things left over. Next time I wonder if we could line up some to fly on to Nova Scotia for our local chapter.   Our members are keen for those kind of plants.  Maybe Carol could box and send air freight to us? In fact she's coming in late March so if there are leftovers we can help out.

I'm just in the door and can report we have long lost 'brothers' on the forum. Two of the boys are soooo alike. What do they think? We had the time to do a forum members photo shoot but it didnt happen

  - Oh Diane - when ever it should be possible I also would like to order this superb "Diane Whitehead Snowdrop Collection"

They would only return next year with these baskets.

I think that was because nobody would agree to take the photo and therefore not be in the picture!

If you were there and saw somebody with a ridiculously long knitted scarf, that was me.  It very very rarely gets an outing.

[Anthony Darby]

I would have been nice to see who was there?

[mark smyth]

Alan B, David Quinton, Jo, moi, Martin Bax, Emma 'Thick Gardener' and many lurkers

To all those who are expecting me at the CGS snowdrop day I apologise now because I will not be there. So many sad faces today. There will be another year.

[Brian Ellis]

...and me.  I know what you mean Sue there was very little room to get around.
