Looking forward to seeing everyone that makes it later. 

So annoying that this cold snap has happened right now as the next 3 days are my most snowdrop intensive of the season!   >:(

nice to see everyone, shame it was so cold but there were some lovely plants & I really could have spent a small fortune, came away with two & really pleased to have got Lapwing.

sorry I missed the group photo due to phone call.

I picked up Lapwing & Melanie Broughton, both very nice plants.

wasn't much within the budget I had set myself, really wanted Kildare & Cowhouse Green but as usual I look at the prices and think it's too much for one bulb.

I was delighted to get 'Miss Willmott' - three scapes on the bulb I got, sometimes has four per bulb.  Many thanks to Sue and Wol.

If cunning involves setting off four and a half hours earlier and standing in -4 for four hours, it was indeed that  :D but my snowdrops were either pre-ordered anyway or gifts.
