The Flower Show Committee Pie Fight

I have too much to do today. The backlog of jobs to be done before the open day seems to be growing, not shortening and I have been seriously been considering organising an "Open Day Committee" for next year's event....

Mind you Committee work is not an easy ride either!

We had our final Trelawnyd Flower Show Committee Meeting last night before the show itself which is on the 13th of August......

They are always lively, slightly confusing and animated affairs, where official committee protocols often go out of the window.

Everyone talks at once. Sticking to the agenda is sometimes an impossible task and after an hour or two I sometimes feel as though I have just worked a12 hour shift on intensive care. ( Goodness how the slightly deaf Auntie Gladys copes with the job of sifting information?)

Having said this....everything gets done, decisions are made and for such a small village, the large and motivated committee is a, I think, a credit to the community.

Anyhow I am grabbing a quick cuppa before:-

I collect animal feed from the wholesalers,

Buy bedding plants for the cottage hanging baskets

Collect the donated craftwork from the post office to sell on our bric-a-brac stall ( Thank you Wanda Glaze for making and sending it)

Pick up tea tables and chairs from Prestatyn

Collect 4 boxes of bric-a-brac,
locate the tea urn from the Village Friendship group

Collect 4 gazebos,

Clean out two hen houses (one has redmite starting)

Strim the lower part of the field,

Then I can walk the dogs, make dinner and deliver eggs

Yeap I think I  need a committee

Ps. forgive my lack of posting on the usual suspect blogs...when I get a minute I will catch up with you all


Just a quick postscript and message of thanks.
Today I received two large parcels from two fellow bloggers who have kindly donated items for our open day.
I couldn't quite believe the home made items that were sent by Wanda Glaze from up there in Orkney......beautifully hand crafted bags, tea cosies and stockings, all beautifully presented and wrapped for me literally overwhelmed me.Thank you so much for the time effort and kindness it took to send them to me.


The other parcel was from Craig over at http://cognacguy.blogspot.com/.
and it was filled to the brim of home made cakes .as well as a donation for the day. Again the time, effort and the thoughtful nature of the gift is very humbling. I am very grateful for his contribution
