Whoa! Mr Grumpy!  And selling to dear Dan, I see- another fellow who knows the pleasure of retail therapy  :D
Mind you, even from the photo one can see how horribly cold it was  :-X

Hi Guys,
   I don’t think you’ve got too much to worry about regarding the weather for next week's snowdrop sale….. I’ve just had a look at the Myddleton House website and it says…. ‘’The gardens are temporarily closed today due to icy conditions.’’

While looking for pics of Jennie's snowdrop purchases I found these of a very very cold salesman called Brian not showing his usual smiling face!
I was cold!!  Same face today as I found out I am unable to come down to Myddleton House this year  :-X :'(

Those going to Myddleton House will be pleased to know that Joe has said 'weather permitting' Matt Bishop will be one of the sellers, so there will be some wonderful snowdrops for sale from a large number of good growers. Humph!

Thank you Jennie, someone else will have to carry your bags!  I hope I get to see you somewhere this season.

You could give her your chocolate trolley, Maggi. That would hold lots of snowdrops.
