Through the Vine I've met....

[Scarlet]

Here's a little Challenge for you No-Mates. Make 2015 the year when you meet at least one Grape!
The easy way is to go to an event, like a potato day, or a gardening show, and arrange to meet for coffee at 11..........or summat. Its fun and you never know who may sit down beside you

You just need to know that if a phone rings, it may well be yours and it's good to know how to answer it

I'm not much wiser now, Scarlet
For those who don't know this story - some of us had arranged to meet at the RHS Show in Cardiff. I said I'd be wearing a red coat and had white hair. Nearly every old biddy there had white hair and a red coat Plus it was so warm, that I took my coat off - forgetting that I was supposed by wearing it.
Not to worry, everyone had my mobile number............I just didn't hear it or know how to answer the phone. Chris texted me 3 times, finally saying, I can't find you, I'm going home!!
Scarlet, had to act as my secretary, answering my phone calls
I'm never going to live it down, obviously!!

Nope ! At least Chris had met you several times before and was late anyway
It was good fun though, it's really nice to match faces to posters and a great way to swap more seeds!!

If you've been to London recently you'll know that actually no, in these days of peak beardage, you really aren't easy to spot. Particularly if you team it with wincingly tight and oddly coloured jeans and a good sprinkle of tweed.

Has a large group of vine members ever met up?
Maybe it could be the challenge of the vine for 2015. I know everyone is spread out but maybe it could be arranged that several meeting points could be set up. Say for the Midlands it could be a park near Edgebaston or the Yorkshire Vines could be Leeds Roundhay park. We could do our own party in the Parks and everyone brings something they've made to eat.

We've done a few meet-ups before now - from memory there has been Wisley in Surrey, Grapestock in Skipton, Ryton and, of course Vinstock in France. Plus some go along to the garden shows / allotment open days / potato days etc and arrange to meet up then.

Now, I live in Kent, but visit Yorkshire regularly, and even know Roundhay Park!
