Default What a day!

Today was the day of the MALVERN SHOW and all you grapes missed a FANTASTIC DAY!

I went with partner-in-grime Jane and met Wellie and Trousers at the showground where they had kindly arranged superb parking for us. We had a gossip and a coffee then went round the show gardens (superb - the GOLD MEDAL winning Chris Beardshaw garden 'the bothy' based on a small holding was utterly inspirational) then round the big flower marquee, and some of the horticultural stores.

Back to the cars for the BEST picnic I have EVER had in my life comprising Wellie's salad leaf salad, home growed asparagus, home sun dried tomatoes, DELICIOUS smoked chicken terrines, various cheese and my cheese straws all washed down with a glass of pino grigio......back to the marquee for coffee and home made abbey crunch biscuits.

EXCELLENT day, managed to only spend £4 on some seeds, and a big thankyou to Wellie and Trousers for making it so good!

Oh, it did rain a bit.
