As 'Beautiful Scotland' celebrates its 50th Anniversary, Royal Caledonian Horticultural Society and SRGC Star, Stan da Prato has posted this in the "Caley" blog.....
"Judging for Beautiful Scotland .....can be hard work. Some of Uddingston Pride’s many volunteers had made all these cakes to celebrate the BS campaign’s 50th anniversary so I had to sample several."

I'm sure Stan's credentials re assessing cake quality is unmatched ( it is after all, an SRGC speciality!) but isn't he meant to be judging the gardens??
Mind you, when the Press and Journal newspaper reported about Stan di Plato being one of the judges visiting Aberdeen recently, perhaps Stan can be forgiven for using his well-known talents for spotting a tasty cake as well as a well-tended plant!
Happily the paper has got Stan's name correct in its photo pages (http://photoshopscotland.newsprints.co.uk/search/bykw/b/f/0/1)!

It is necessary to take some nourishment before venturing out into the Lanarkshire monsoon.
