Trelawnyd Flower Show Meeting

The Flower Show Committee met around Auntie Glad's kitchen table tonight as it always has done. We have a large lively committee of around a dozen souls, most of whom have been doing the show for years.
Everyone knows their job, so the show generally has a habit of  " running itself" this makes my job as chairman pretty easy. The meetings are more social than really functional.

Julie, Derek, John F and animal helper Pat

Terry ( above- left ) and I have challenged each other in entering five flower show classes. Last year we both entered the infamous " quiche challenge" which Terry unfortunately won. ( a fact he has not let me forget ) so we now have a cash wager agreed upon. A ten pound  note on the person who wins the most categories.


The committee meeting is halted so that Tea and scones 
Are served
( yes Gladys is STILL baking)

Pat, Auntie Glad and Ann

The Trelawnyd flower Show is scheduled for Saturday 9 th of August. We are now in our 42nd Year.

  1. A long shot of a question but, has Auntie Glad been involved with all 42 years?

    1. The flower show was an extension of the village welfare committee.. Gladys served on both from 1958 some 56 years

  2. Wonderful traditions in that room. It's nice to see such a large group of people dedicated to carrying on...wow, just realized the flower show is younger than I am. Does that make me venerable?

  4. Good to see that Thelma from the Scooby Doo series has found an honourable past time in her retirement ......if it hadn't been for those pesky carrots she would have won that " best in show " trophy .....

    2. Make sure you don't have a soggy bottom. It's critical for quiche and you need all the help you can get to beat Terry. Mary Berry has a new series next week and she hates soggy bottoms - in quiches!

  20. Can I send preserves from Australia? Would they get through customs, do you think? I'm not artistic so homemade cards and such aren't an option but I'd love to join in!

  21. I am not sure but you could give it a go!

  22. You can't beat a meeting with Auntie Gladys' scones can you (just look at that hand going in for the grab!!). Good luck with your five categories ... we'll all be rooting for you :-)

  23. It's been a sad week for me and baking always helps. I'm thinking Aunt Glad needs to post one or two of her scone recipes.
