    Following on from last year's Highly Commended (4th) in the Planters & Hanging Baskets section this year we have again repeated that feat and also picked up 2nd in the Wildlife Garden section :) :spinning:

    Obviously we were hoping for an improvement on the former but given a brief spell of atrocious summer weather (near gale force gusts and heavy rain) right before the judges came I was happy to have anything left to be judged :snorky: :biggrin:

    Happy Days :)
