My local Village Flower Show

This afternoon I went to our local Flower Show, and I think entries were down on last year, probably because of the weather, but I thought you might like to see some of the flower arrangements there. It was a very pleasant afternoon, not too hot, with plenty of stalls to tempt one,but I was very good and didnt buy any plants. I talked myself out of it really, I haven’t got anywhere to put things any more. We had the Shrewton Silver Band playing most of the afternoon, they were very good, and will be playing at Harrogate in two weeks time in the National Championships. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

The quality is very good Cinderella. Did you have any entries in the show and if so how did you get on. The fruit looks scrumptious and the flower arrangements would be a wonderful gift to anyone. I prefer the basket to the white arrangement but the judges are looking for more than just pretty. I thought the loaf of bread was a pumpkin, that is my favourite. I hope everybody was happy with the results.

Thank you Sixpence, Clarice, Scotsgran and Sewingkilla.
The Basket was the first prize in the Gentlemen only section, and the small white one was in another section by a lady. I didnt put anything in this year, I sometimes do, but on seeing the entries I wished I had. I have some lovely Fuchsia baskets I could have put in, but hey ho, thats how it goes. The basket is lovely, and was done by a friend of mine.

Yes it would have been nice to have your company, but it wasnt advertised very well I think, and I didnt think to tell you about it.
