Often a clue -  bats are mammals of the order Chiroptera - Mark and John are fellow Batmen :D

Wow - I wish my figure was like that! I'll have to get the outfit next time we're batting, though I'll need the thermals underneath.

At last my contribution to the Myddelton House event.
2 fotos and a little video
We ,Andre Bourgonje and his wife Maggie,my husband Bert and me,had a lovely day and were happy to meet and say hello to John,Jennie,Ruben and girlfriend and Steve.
All the others I failed to recognise,sorry for that.
first foto shows me buying and second foto what I took home.



after the sale we went to see Steve and his lovely wife Eileen,did the garden tour and had a very nice cup of tea and cakes.Thanks again Steve.

Great short film Loes - you should have got them at the beginning when they were all charging forward!  It was lovely to meet you and you managed to get some lovely plants.  Sorry, I got the last Rosemary Burnham  ::)  I was not going to get it as I have heard it is difficult and I have enough problems as it is  ;)  Fingers crossed

Hi Loes
Sorry I couldn't watch and enjoy your video too. Trying to do so I encountered a message that "Windows Media Player" was needed and I should install a "Plug-in"; tried clicking on that that and found myself wandering like the Marie Celeste in a cyberspace wilderness. So I "plugged out" and regretfully decided that videos posted on SRGC are not for nerds like me. Better stick to living plants. As Clint Eastwood said, "A man's gotta know his limitations".... :(
