It's St David's Day here in Wales today.
No doubt the village school children will be dressing up for it's traditional for the girls to wear the old fashioned tall black hats with lace trim or to have small leaks or daffodils pinned to their clothing.
I've filled vases with daffodils and have put them on the window ledges to mark the day.
Anyhow to the subject of today's post!
It concerns all of you readers!
After much discussion by the Trelawnyd Flower Show Committee, it was eventually decided that the " International Novelty Vegetable/ fruit Photo Competition " (which has been such an informal but popular part of the Show's schedule over the last two years ) will be made an official part of the show from now on!
So have a look on the schedule and you will see it proudly entered into section 4 - The Floral Art & Photography Section. This year it would be great to have around a hundred photograph entries ( for those that don't know the photographs can be emailed to me for printing)

I may just try my hand this year...Happy Saint David's day John.
ReplyDeleteWe have a woodwork section john
DeleteHow wonderful to be 'official'!!! I will have to get my thinking cap on for what to enter. Those cauliflower and broccoli poodles would take some beating!
ReplyDeleteMayhap I should work on a 'Meloncollie'.
ReplyDeleteI have never seen a better BroccoliPoodle or CaliflowerPoodle !!
ReplyDeleteWith the price of cauliflower rising like gold, there might be only green poodles this year.
ReplyDeleteHardly original, but I thought at first that the one on the left must be a collie (cauli?). Oh, never mind!
ReplyDeleteYep, a CollieFlower and a BroCollie.
DeleteOh Mitch! You're making me feel even more that I shouldn't have bothered.
DeleteOh, Ray, I'm really glad you did! Maybe I should have written BrocCollie. Anyway, they both look like Poodles!
DeleteOh brother!
Delete.....Where art thou? (Bugger me if I know!)
DeleteCREATIVE and CUTE . . .
ReplyDeleteMaybe... But thanks for the daffodils. My sister's favorite flower.
ReplyDeleteThey are the official flower of wales too
DeletePretty little corner you've created there, John. I love daffodils (yellow flowers are my favourite) and, that pistachio colour phone is a beauty. Lovely hand painted ceramic pitcher too - perfect for red wine! Greetings Maria x
ReplyDeleteThe jug is a famous welsh pottery its called gaudy ware
DeleteShould be fun,
ReplyDeleteSo who did win last year's competition?
ReplyDeleteI put the winning photo on the blog! I'll havea look in the archive
DeleteI don't think you told us who won last year.
DeleteYour vegedogs made me laugh. Just wondering how to make a cat. Perhaps out of blackberries.

Love the poodles! I don't remember seeing those in last year's pictures. I'm thrilled you're having the on-line entries again. Time to start scrutinizing the produce and gathering weird looks at the grocery store again :)
ReplyDeleteHappy St Davids day to you.....and as for the novelty veg then the standard is obviously pretty high going by the picture...will maybe give it a go this year....mmmm....think think.
ReplyDeleteThats a google pic libby x
DeleteThose Poodles made me smile x
ReplyDeleteThis is great !
ReplyDeleteWhat fabulous Poodles. NotesFromAbroad will really love this.
I hope we will not be banned like last year.
There were several fabulous entries last year that should have won. The Strawberry Chicken sitting on the egg was a bigg winner to me.

We have a new judge this year!
DeleteI wish I could be that creative. I like to see what others come up with.

ReplyDeleteHappy St David's Day!
ReplyDeleteAren't daffs just the cheeriest flower ever. I have 3 vases of them in the house at the moment, kitchen, dining room, living room, they're such a lovely sign that winter's finally on the way out!
I have a few pots of tete a tete in the garden that are flowering, but the ones in the ground are slower, fortunately, I'd hate them all to have flowered before Easter! X
They are cheerful souls
DeletePity they dont scent sweetly .....i hate the smll of them
Hapus dydd gwyl dewi. X
ReplyDeleteDiolch
DeleteAs I was curious about Saint David's Day, I had to look it up. I'm sure that a lot of your readers had no clue. Found this on a quick search and found it quite interesting!

Those broccoli poodles are fantastic John - wish I had that sort of imagination.
ReplyDeleteSo do I , they are frrom google
DeleteFun with veg - I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteWhen i came home from hospital with my second son, my sister had filled my place with daffs. It's a special memory and they are so cheery. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe international comp delights me
xo
Hotdiggetydog! We are official! Whoohoooooooo!
ReplyDeleteHello John: Ooh I have to see what the tall hats with lace look like! Happy St. David's day - and it's my brother David's birthday. (and your phone is wonderful!)
ReplyDeleteI'd love to enter No 55, but I'm not sure how to wrap it.
ReplyDeleteThe poodles have inspired me. I love a challenge. Is England international enough??! x
ReplyDeleteHappy St David's Day! I wore red; daffs here are about 1/4 inch up, unheard of in my neck of the woods so early in the year. But winter here has been mild for the most part.
