Meeting up with Karen and Kath at Glamis

looks like all had a fab time.

We did! It was so lovely to meet Linda, but not at all strange as we really already knew one another! I'm glad you had a good day Linda.....weather not as warm as last week, but not too bad. only sorry I had to leave you so soon, but it was a good result for us with the house. :)

We certainly did Gemini Linda is a lovely person as is Licra Barry.

Great photos Barry:)

"Lycra Barry!" nice one Kath! Lol!

But it did make as laugh Karen:)

Nice photos nice setting

Lovely happy pics :o)

Pleased that you all had such a good time .
The grounds and castle (?) look grand .

Yes Driad. Glamis Castle, childhood home of the late Queen Mother and birthplace of the late Princess Margaret. home to the Earls of Strathmore and Kinghorne for hundreds of years. it is a very beautiful and historic place. :)

I told my hairdresser this morning that I was going home to cook beetroot from the ex-Queen Mother's garden. How is that for name dropping?

What a lovely place and after the false start a really happy day x

So nice to put faces to the names :) You all look to have had a wonderful time, in a beautiful setting. I'm quite envious.

I am sure Karen and I and Chris are well photographed with the many visitors go click with their cameras Waddy:)

I dread to think Kath! folk are always snapping me...it's like the blooming paparazzi! Lol!

Linda....thank you so much for the Cardiocrinum. I picked it up today. The other plants have gone home with Kath. she's looking after the begonia for me until we move! :))

Looks as if you all had a great time, such an inspiring place to work, lovely blog.

Angela, we had some wonderful visitors this week. The sheer joy on their faces...it makes my heart sing! Some people think I'm mad doing it for no money, but I do it for my own heart, and for the visitors, and to help out the Head Gardener, my dear friend Chris. that is worth so much more to me than money, which happily I have enough of thankfully. I think Kath feels similar......though she will speak for herself. I love the place...always have. And it was only when Kath told me that I found out that the walled garden existed. For many years it lay derelict, and many people, locals, don't even know about it. If we can bring it back to life...and I think we already have....then I will have really achieved something special!

The gardens are a credit to you both. I can understand why you do it. As I said.......if I lived nearer I would join you.

:)) if only Linda!

Well done Karen, your Mum must be very proud of you. xx

What a fabulous place and day out Linda and best of all meeting up with good friends :o))
