Old Friend 1

 

Another old friend returns,
The Trelawnyd Flower Show is reborn on August 5th.
And the schedules are out.
I’ve got much to do today. 
Jackson’s Nurseries ( which lies a stone’s throw from the village) donated several planters to the TCA and I’ve picked three up this morning and have placed two either side of the Church gate and put the last one by the noticeboard.
I will personally deliver flower show schedules to the old flower show committee and to people who have already requested them. 
I love the fact that inside the programme the TCA has honoured Auntie Glad

  3. It's lovely that all those events that were on hold during Covid, are returning. How kind of the nursery to donate planters. True village spirit. Hoping for sunshine and lots of people with very deep pockets in attendance! xx

    John there is no doubt - you are the village stalwart. What would they do without you?

  8. You should get Steve Reed up from London to be a flower show judge. That guy knows a lot about flowers. You could say that he's Florida's Alan Titchmarsh.

    What a fabulous, she catching poster! Hope everyone rallies round and the show is a great success. Hard work but good fun. And a nice new thing after the allure of Venice.

  11. Your community Flower Show has always been very popular and well attended. The tradition is important and much loved. The tribute to beloved Aunty Glad is lovely.

  13. Good news! I miss your online competition (fruit and vegetable constructions). Maybe I need to do one simply for my own amusement :)

  14. Do you ever stop doing things John? Could you bottle some of your motivation and send it to me? I do nothing for much of the time, while still doing what is required, but I am not sure I could cope with your level of activity. I am currently drinking beer and looking out at the view to the hills. I will have a rest after that :)

    1. I can be totally lazy Andrew, and I waste time like anyone else ….
      I’m busy at home sometimes because I have no one to talk to

  16. Lovely to see Auntie Gladys' name in the programme, perhaps there could be a cup for the winner of the 'Best Scone' category in her name.

  17. The dedication to Auntie Gladys gave me a heartfelt tear. Gone but not forgotten...
