Up early ready to get going...but it's hissing it down!!...and I 'aint driving my new motor into anybodies field in this weather......no way!!!! So we're off to Cheltenham to buy Mrs Pal some new,smaller,clothes:gnthb:

Sadly, Shiney, your place is in the opposite direction to where we're going, so we can't even do a detour en route. I'd have loved to do that, having had a look at your thread with the photos. Still, as you say, there could well be some nice plant sales going on in Devon whilst we are there. ...

We had a lovely time at Blickling and we were allowed inside the house too - it would have cost nearly twenty pounds! The spring flowers were out and looking pretty.

Hi everyone, just wondering if anyone would be interested in the Send a Cow Christmas catalogue? There is a lot of great stuff! From your responses to the Send a Cow stall at the show I thought you might be interested in looking at a few of our other ideas? Let me know and I'll keep you updated...

Actually everyone, they are several houses, and several gardens that are toured.

thanks kandy and jazmine, its nice to see the dinosaurs and all the lovely greenery and especially having a golfing there also

inthe past it was sponsored by amateur gardening and they pulled out last year. it used to be bursting with enthusiasm, great atmosphere, jazz band, lots of plants to buy, advice from many gardening celebs. this year it was just like an expensive boot fare with no soul

His sister Becky, (good friend...

Certainly looking forward to what this show offers. Advance tickets at only £5 - made that one for me!

Will do :gnthb:

Now that looks like something my husband would thoroughly enjoy - chilli's and specialty beers. It doesn't look that far away either, might be an option for a day out! Thanks Shiney!
