This year its 150th Aniversary and is on the 8th to the 10th of July, is anyone going? They have a beautiful flower pavalion and you can buy lots of seeds and bulbs from the growers, last year I got some SP's from David Mathewman who is a very nice chap by the way and could'nt do enough for me, telling me how to plant my seeds and the care of them. There where some georgous Lillies and the scent was devine, so this year I will make sure that I stop there first so I dont run out of funds ;D

Will we ever have a nice Summer for a change?

I'd love to go, because it combines two of my favourite things, plants and Yorkshire. I suppose it wouldn't be out f the question. My parents are pretty good just now, and I have been toying with the idea of a couple of nights away. Must give this serious thought.

Thanks WT, I hope that you can make it this year, if you do we could meet up in the flower pavalion. I am praying for wet weather for a few days before then we wont be hay making. I know I should'nt but I love going there and want to get some Lillies and more Sweet Peas seeds. I like to see the flowers and smell the scents of them before I buy them.

Will certainly let you know if I manage to be able to go.
