Those of you who have met David in person will understand that it is hard not to laugh on sight.  Harder still when he accosts you from behind whilst you are engrossed in taking a photo.  What I actually said was “David, I have seen your photos!” which was perhaps a bit harsh, given the rather creditable set he has posted from this show. And certainly he managed to capture a number of plants I wanted to photograph, before I got caught up in other business.  [David, as a point of note, the gentleman in question, primula grower of note, is actually my step-father, not my father-in-law, who was a charming Yorkshire man, but sadly passed away several years ago.]

All in all, it was an excellent day out, at a relaxed and friendly show which I am always glad to visit and to help with.

 Yes, that's what I've heard - they say the same of me!

 ;D ;D ;D Well I'd done me best. Had a shave; combed me hair; clean shirt and jumper!

Sorry to have re-aligned the entire Evans clan Jon.

The problem is, David, that the smile on your face is infectious !

It's not what the Missus says, usually it's "Take that daft look of your face"
