Snowdrops & Cake, now with added Soup! Sun 26th Feb 2012 Benington Lordship

[RichardW]

Pooring here in Northamptonshire at the moment

Richard,we would both love to do this event again,but as we did it last year ,we are prepared to go at the bottom of the list to give others a chance to enjoy it

Chas please don't worry about that, I have negotiated a few more so shouldn't be a problem.

Maggi, there's an open invitation here, if you ever happen to be in the area please get in touch, ignore the opening times, they don't apply

Hi Richard,

I was thinking the same as Chas really, would love to come again this year but as we attended last year we're quite prepared to let some of the other members have a chance so put us at the back of the queue please

Hi Ali,

will do but as I said I don't see it being a problem.

[RichardW]

weather looking good for sunday 

I'll pm everyone who replied later, still room for a few more if anyone else would like to visit.

I would love to have returned this year, but duty calls - a Committee meeting at Wisley 

Hope the weather is good and the drops upstanding.

[RichardW]

I hope it will be an annual event, hope to see you again next year 

[RichardW]

sorry soup is off, someone forgot to put water in the bottom of one of the urns and burnt it out so the parish hall will want the other one & I've got no means of keeping it warm, will just have to eat more cake, shame....

[Maggi Young]

Weather is pretty good though, isn't it, Richard ? So the lack of soup shouldn't be too much of a trauma 


Have a wonderful day!

[RichardW]

yes was lovely today but colder tonight so things will be a little slower to open in the morning.

[Maggi Young]

Just been out with the dogs and it is much colder this evening than I thought - perhaps the snowdroppers for Benington Lordship should put on extra socks!

[RichardW]

was a bit colder last night which had me worried but a lovely morning here, no wind & blue skies 

[Brian Ellis]

Hope you all enjoy it as much as we did Richard

Got back about an hour ago, what a superb day, THANKS Richard.

Lovely people, wonderfull snowdrops and the weather to show them off to perfection. Oh and the cakes - lets put it this way "we didn't go home hungry"!

I will post some photos when I get a few more minutes.

Thanks also to Alan and Chas (and Richard again) for the donations/swaps. I went home with three that were on my wishlist and only added about the same number to the list!

Well what a superb day for it,although a little late(1hour) through road closures and diversions we had a most enjoyable time once again,perfect weather for viewing the drops,and a wonderfull array of cakes,especially Chris's (always a favourite of Jan's),and thanks to Richard for his hospitality,and replacing a drop that I lost last winter
And good to meet some other forum members

[RichardW]

glad you enjoyed it and thanks to all that came & the snowdrop/cake donations, was a really nice morning & couldn't have asked for better weather
