Wow, Dotty, what a day, it was fantastic, we all enjoyed it so much, and it was lovely to meet you and your OH and all the other Goyers. 140 people, how great. It couldnt have been a better day. Hope you are pleased with all the lovely comments. Love the cakes too.

Ewe were right: the photo made me chuckle! What a very talented daughter you have. Bet the cakes were delicious!!

Sounds as though everything went well for you Dotty! I think you're very brave opening your garden like that, I couldn't do that in a million years! Lovely for you to meet the other Goyers too! Well done on the number of visitors too!

well done Dd.. for having a beautiful garden --- good friends-- and fabulous cakes......:o)))

Glad it went well Dd and I love the cakes

You've really done a wonderful job of preparing your garden and by all accounts the cakes were delicious too :)

I am so pleased for you....meeting GoY friends and having a good amount of support too. You'll be planning for another open day before you can say 'Jack Robinson'...lol

Love the cakes with the sheep...very whimsical and creative. Your daughter has a fab talent there :)

Hi Dotty, your garden is so wondeful. Shirley and Cinderella did brilliant blogs which showed the beauty of your garden. You should be very proud.

There was no need for air-brushing ... no imperfections to be seen in your lovely garden. We're so pleased for you having 140 visitors ... and there you were worrying if many would turn up on the day! Great to meet you and your family. Love the cakes too : o ))))

140 visitors DD. you must of been worn out, I love your garden, Shirley and cinderella did excellent blogs, showing parts of your garden I haven't seen, doesen't matter that there weren't any pics of your Tropical border :( :) I saw the rest of your Amazing garden, nice to see it through the eyes of others..
PS, I can see where your daughter got her creativeness from...Lovely cakes :)

Shirley it will always be a day to remember thanks to friends fromGOY.
YDD so pleased you like the garden, dont worry about the jungle I will post some later on when it really gets going. It was lovely to see our garden through Cinders and Shirleys lens.
Cristina if you want to see the pics look at Cinders and Shirley's blogs.
Dawn thanks very much your very kind.
Whiston it was so lovely of GOYs to travel so far to see us, we were both very touched by the support we received.
Annella and Pam than you kindly.
Libet at one stage I was very worried that the garden would not be up to scratch what with the bad winter dry spring and then gale force winds.
Ha ha geranium, I am lucky to have three talented daughters, must take after their Dad lol

They certainly did DD and they have done some great blogs for those of us who couldn`t make it.
Love the cakes.

Stroller I was well chuffed to say the least.....

And so you should be DD, great for the charity and a nice bonus for your hard work..a nice compliment about your garden (and well deserved too by the pics Ive seen) is worth far more than money!

I'm glad it all went so well Dd , and so many fabulous comments ! it makes it all worth while after all your hard work ,the cakes looks fantastic you have a clever daughter plus a very lovely supportive family , well done :o))

Wow DD - what a treat! I've just looked at your garden through the 'eyes' of Shirley, Cinderella and Flori and thoroughly enjoyed it. Congratulations on what must have been a wonderful (and nerve-wracking!) day - you MUST do it again - I only wish I lived closer.
You've created a beautiful garden there.
(A Gooseberry in a pot - why have I never thought of that? Added it to my list!!!) :-))

Forgot to mention the Sheep cakes! They are great - I could definitely 'dip' into them!!!
:-))

Tet how kind of you, the aim is to raise as much money as possible, we have a lot of family members who have either lost their lives to cancer or living with it....so every £ counts. and to me it is a really selfish way to raise money by doing the job I love.
Muddy we are doing it again on the 26th and 27th June, have already made alterations to the garden!!
Sheep dip ha ha......like it.

Hello Dottydaisy,

I love the pictures of your cup cakes, I looked through all your photos of your open day.

I like your garden very much, everything looked in pristine condition, you must have worked very hard. I could see by the quality of the leaves that everything had been manicured.

I am sure you had a wonderful day and I hope to come along to one of your other open days.

Once more, well done,
Kind Regards

Mossy how sweet of you, thanks very much for your kind comments. We would love to see you one day,because your garden is such an inspiration for all who see it.
