    It is that time of year again. Tomorrow is the villages summer horticultural show. Of course we are entering, but I am not entering as many classes as I have been so busy with work and evening engagements, that I just haven't been able to get orgainsed. However I do have some lettuce, spuds, french beans,raspberries, gooseberries, jostaberries and globe artichokes, along with a choccy swiss roll, fruit scones and cherry pie. The children have prepared paper flowers, decorated flower pot, edible hedgehog, sock puppet, and decorated fairy cakes. I will of couse take loads of photos and post over the weekend with the resutls. Wish me luck.

    Gosh if you can put all that together with very little time to spare then you're doing a grand job EJ!! :eek: I don't think I need to wish you luck as I'm sure you'll walk away with an armload of prizes. :-D Enjoy yourself at the summer show and I'll look forward to your photographs.

    I agree with Sjoerd - I want to know every detail of how the show went - with photographs of course. I have a feeling you and the young 'uns picked up the odd prize or two so, come on, tell all!! :p
