Don't mention Gala tickets to me.  The fact that the Gala is 2 weeks 3 days away and I still don't know for certain that I can go is becoming a bit of a sore point.

Joe has said today that everyone who has asked for tickets will be getting them so go ahead with any arrangements, he is going to try and get them out at the beginning of this week - but if you have booked and don't receive them, he will have a list there so will know they have not arrived.  Also if anyone else wishes to go to the Gala there are still some places available.

Lovely to see so many forumists and lurkers at the talk at Blacksmiths nursery, thanks to Ben and Sarah for hosting it.  A really sociable occasion and no I could not resist buying some more ::) ::)

I can well believe you've been enjoying the last few days, Davey.  You've been super busy!

I know Ian's been having a great time with Sharron, her folks,  Carol,  Barbara and Bob and Ann who have given him such super hospitality and and all the others he's been being looked after by  during his trip over the last few days.

Well I spent most of the morning talking  ::) (when I wasn't listening to the lectures) so didn't take any photos.  We were treated by Rod Leeds to the sight of three lovely pots of snowdrops Castle Green Dragon, Llo'n'Green (presumably a play on Lohengrin) and Castle 02/20.  Thanks to Colin - a lurker (I think) for these photos.
