Thank you John! Hope one day...
Your last pictures are inhumane!  :) Here we need to wait 2-3 months for such flowering.

my father will have reached the age of 80!  (and I find myself wondering, does that make me old?...  :-\ )

Yes  ;D :-* ;D

Absolutely, I hope you had a great day David, well done Katherine for bullying him into it.

...and of course many thanks John for a great report for those of us who didn't make it ;)

Hi John, if this is to be {near to} the end for this year can I say how much I have enjoyed your Blog { a lot !!}. I am not, by a long way, a serious grower of Galanthus, just a few in one of my bulb beds. However I have followed your blog daily and found it most enjoyable and educational, along with your other posts on other threads. Looking forard to next years posts already. ;)

John - really great photos from the show and what a shame that is the end of your blogging for this year.  My dad was 80yrs old this year......and I am old....you're still a youngster!  Maybe you will post a few pics from Madeira?  Have a fantastic holiday enjoying quality time with your parents.

Hagen - I hoped to see you at the RHS but when I got there I was told you had already left for your journey home.  Maybe I will meet you another time.  Glad you enjoyed your trip - it looks like you have had a lot of fun.  Even if you never saw as many snowdrops as you had hoped - you got to meet many people in the snowdrop world.  Look forward to your photos.
