I’m a judge short.
Meirion of the lovely garden on Maes Offa cannot judge the flower section this year, which is a blow.
I’m presently in negotiation with a local potter to be our arts judge and I’m going around to see Animal Helper Pat, who is a wonderful gardener to step in with the flowers.
It will get sorted.
Trendy Carol ( looking svelte in bright summer colours) has just passed and the village feels out and about in the warm sunny month that we’ve had. Affable despot Jason has taken over one of the allotments in Bonc Terrace, and someone new has bought Trefor’s old bungalow on the corner.
No one knows who the newbies are
Bonk Terrace? Is that where all the bonking happens? No wonder Jason has chosen an allotment there. Has it got its own private shed?
ReplyDeleteI have no idea where “ bonc “ comes from I don’t think it’s Welsh. Probably a shortening of aword
DeleteAm I missing something in the translation ?
DeleteLee
Bonc in Welsh means a bank or hillock. Bonk in English is something else again.

DeleteRoot in Strine means Bonk in English. We don't root for sport teams Down Under (well not that I know of:)
DeleteWell at least you've got a bit of time to rustle up a new judge. I hope the new villagers are friendly. Maybe one of them could step into the judging breach - a baptism of fire! xx PS How's your arm?
ReplyDeleteStill the same , I’m having physio review next week
DeleteAn early announcement of the Flower Show dates, location, and time may allow some UK dwellers to attend! Wouldn't that be a treat?! Wishing you well in finding the needed judge if Animal Helper Pat cannot take the job.
ReplyDeleteHope the new folks fit right into the village, will be an asset to all, and not have noisy dogs!
Hugs!
Everyone s very welcome
DeleteI just checked out Bonc Terrace. It looks charming, and what an address.
ReplyDeleteOriginally it was a set of two lines of terraced cottages built in the early 1700s, only one set remains and the attorneys are hidden behind them and auntie glads old house

DeleteYes, I found that, too. So different from. what I’m used to.
DeleteThe busy and outgoing life of an entire community captured in just a few sentences. Good luck finding that last elusive judge! I've organised and stewarded at more Women's Institute craft and produce shows than I can remember (in the days when the W.I. was still what it should be) And for the people who just attend, it all looks so calm and perfect on the surface when they arrive at the hall to see and enjoy the sights......how little do they know!
ReplyDeleteThere is so much work every year…..hey I know what I’m getting into
DeleteYes, when will the show be held?!
ReplyDeleteClick to enlarge John's photo and you'll find out when and where the Flower Show will be!
DeleteHugs!
Thanks! Spotted it now.
DeleteTrelawnyd village life would make a perfect BBC cozy serial. I'd watch it!
ReplyDeleteI agree and it will be based on the books by John Gray!
DeleteI love that. And you are right.
DeleteThe casting would be fascinating...Russell Crow to play John of course..
DeleteYES! I'd watch it!!!
DeleteAnd I would too. Of course.
DeleteYes Kath! and Chic Eleanor will be played by Nicole Kidman
DeleteYou guys lol shucks xxx
DeleteOh my word when you started with I’m a judge short I thought the village had a Mid Sommer Murders moment 😂😂😂x Bernie
ReplyDeleteNow that would BE A GREAT blog entry
DeleteGood luck finding your flower judge, John.
ReplyDeleteXxxx
DeleteThe Flower Show is a much-loved event. Once you put the word out, there is bound someone willing to be a judge.
ReplyDeletePlease email me the entry forms for the flower show.

I will get the original download from village leader ian
DeleteI'm curious. How much does a judge actually have to know about flowers.
ReplyDeleteOur usual judge had the most beautiful of village gardens
DeleteI love a village post, thanks. Esp the flower show, the neighbors. Cold here and rainy, lucky you. 8*C I think. 3C w windchill.
ReplyDeleteOuch
DeleteHope you manage to get a new judge without too much difficulty. There must be so much work involved, and time, in arranging the show - but worth it all in the end.
ReplyDeleteA good springlike vibe in the village!
I’m yet to stretch my flower show muscles
DeleteI wish it were me who had bought the bungalow. No such luck.
ReplyDeleteIt may fal through it did once
DeleteMy mother’s surname was Bone, they were from Scotland and thought they were originally Huguenots from France were Bone might have been bon meaning good. It looks like a good place. I hope you find a judge for the flower show, I am sure you will be able to sweet talk someone into the position. Glad you are having good weather, ours is awful cold, rainy and windy, the worst day in 30 years for yesterday, and it continues this morning. The Victoria long weekend looks like the crap will continue. Gigi
ReplyDeleteMy family has a connection to the Huguenots, too, from an ancestor with the surname Flournoy. Might we be very distant relatives?!
DeleteHugs!
Thank you for the card and gift babs
DeleteI hope your new neighbours are neighbourly and nice.
ReplyDelete“ and quiet”
DeleteWould someone from the Garden Center be able to judge?
ReplyDeleteGood idea David x
DeleteAlways exciting to get some fresh blood!
ReplyDeleteSome good ideas here
DeleteI may well pay the flower show a visit old lad, always looking for inspiration and ideas from others for my own tiny plot and of course for my work. And it would be a grand excuse for a catch up with your very good self m’thinks after the years past since we last spoke.
ReplyDeleteBe good to see u
