Two AGS shows on the 20th March - so English members will be heading for one of these, I expect .....though those North of the Border will be expected at Dunblane for the Sitrling Group show that day!
The AGS choices are the Whitworth Show, 12:00 - 16:00 at The Riverside Whitworth, Rossendale on Saturday 20th March 2010 from 12 noon to 4pm.
There will be Nurserymen from across the U.K. & the event will also feature a tombola; a raffle; seed, plant and book sales; excellent refreshments; free parking and the warm welcome from Cliff Booker, local Chairman.
Further South you can choose to visit the AGS Kent Show, with plant sale and artisitic competition.
This will also take place on Saturday 20th March 2010 at the Rainham Girls' School, Derwent Way, Rainham, Kent. There will be a large number of tradestands there ,too, including Forumists Ger van Den Beuken and Bob Potterton and the Kentish welcome will be supplied by David "Saxifraga" Hoare, the local Show Secretary. Hot refreshments all day.
Plant sales open 10am Show open at 12noon.

Now the Yorkies would have meat and potato pie but the Lancies have always been stingy ;D

I knew that one day I would find something useful to do with cats :o

It's said to taste very similar to chicken but I haven't tried it (knowingly ???)

Even as a cat owner and lover I can appreciate this :) :) :)
Have never eaten cat, but once ate dog in China - nothing special.

So pleased dog is nothing special, in case anyone gets any ideas.

Special but not a speciality Lesley ;D - who could resist that look of contentment just waiting for a tickle - Teddy looks so replete I wonder what his special dish is?

You'd be surprised and probably horrified at what the darlings consume during a day. Some hard biscuits and some dogroll for dinner at night; frequently an egg in a little milk (free range of course, from the Market when one of my vendors insists I take a dozen extra now and then, donated); when they've been expecially good (Teddy learning at last not to chase our neighbour's car when he goes to work) a piece of hard and crunchy dried liver, courtesy of a group of Australian vets who market the stuff as a training aid. They adore it. Then a small piece of toast with honey at breakfast,; a bite each from my lunchtime sandwich; a sliver of cheese if I'm grating some for something, etc, etc. I draw the line at chocoalet but they don't and they usually mange to wheedle a small piece from me. As for muffins, choc cake or anything like that..... these are very tightly rationed but sometimes a little piece finds its way.....
Oh yes, then there are the rabbits, a hedgehog recently, some hare leg, again from the Market.....
-
A very varied diet then ;D
a hedgehog recently
Surely not whole :o If this is so, I hope they recycled the prickles as toothpicks Lesley ???
-
Teddy killed it, to my dismay as I like and approve of hedgehogs in the garden, then once it was relaxed he attacked its underparts which are soft. The remains Roger had to bury, deeply. Sorry, this is not a pleasant conversation and the smell too, was pretty nasty. I'm surprised that Teddy had no prickles in him as he rolled it around a lot before tackling it. :o
It has been so dry lately that I think the hedgehogs are coming out in the day time to look for water, instead of keeping to their usual evening walks. But Teddy will frequently tear outside at night too, to harrasss one. I learned recently that his mother actually taught her babies to hunt hedgehogs, her owner not liking them which is odd as she (the owner) has a smallholding which is strictly organic and I would have expected her to appreciate the hedgehogs' depredations on slugs, snails and other such eaters of organic lettuces etc.
