Yes, Mark... it was years since any of us had seen Gwen and Johnnie... it was great to have them back at the weekend.... they never used to miss it. Gwen is the Ranunculus ficaria fan some of you may remember from the old forum pages!!

Super stuff Maggi ... now I can christen some of the delegates. It always seems rude to stare at a name badge on a ladies blouse (not that it has ever stopped me in the past)! ;)
Really enjoying this trip down a very short memory lane ... probably the onset of Al ... Al... Al Jolson?   :)

I'm dreading my photo appearing, I see that on some of Cliff's pictures I was not holding my tummy in!
