    It's a mammoth job isn't it Anne, took me forever to get ready for the Norfolk PH day!  A treat today as we are off to Thenford for the snowdrops, I assume we might even see Emma ;D

You did indeed see me  ;D

Hope you enjoyed your day, I know I did .

 So, Brian you were formally introduced, by the Head Gardener,  to the  Deputy Head Gardener, then, I hear......    8) 8) 8)   Exciting to hear that Emma is properly appreciated!

I took rather a lot of pictures and will post some but probably not before Sunday or Monday as it is the Cottage Garden Snowdrop day on Saturday and will be travelling up tomorrow.  Good day and very nice butter nut and ginger soup!

Thanks for that.  They were very difficult to get as they didn't stay still for long!

Lots more to come Bernadette but just need time to work on them.  Seem to be going to rather a lot of snowdrop events!
