Flower Show

 


I am in the process of collecting last years cups from their winning owners. There is only three of us on the committee with a cohort of helpers standing behind  and some of me misses those bun fight meetings at auntie Gladys where there was a great deal of talking and not very much doing.

I love this photo of me and auntie Glad. it was the year she opened the show, when she was around 97 (animal helper Pat, Ann Maltoff and Trendy Carol are in the background). You can tell I had a soft spot for the old Gal

If you read this and have got cups please can you return them to me as soon as possible

also if you have any entries for the International Novelty vegetable please can you forward them to me by email asap my mail is jgsheffield@hotmail.com

      I still think of her fondly when I need to sort my head out and come to a clear conclusion
      She was black or white

    Auntie Glad and her famous scones. A Trelawnyd legend! Here's hoping you round up all the cups, get loads of entries for all classes and the sun shines for the flower show. xx

    Aww ... that's a lovely photo of the two of you. I think that was the first year I entered some things into the show, it was a good year.

    With that blue rosette pinned to your left nipple you look like Nigel Ponsonby-Smythe - the Tory candidate for Eton and Deep Shittington.
