Thank you for all the marmalade advice, I think I may be better at eating marmalade than making it.
I shall embrace my inner Paddington Bear.
We arrived at 5.30 to find that although the program says collect between 5 and 6 they actually mean arrive at 5.
Then they start emptying out the uncollected flowers and throwing them away....
It's ok though. If you apologise profusely for your lateness, and look a little sad that your very pathetic floral offerings have been disposed of, then the nice ladies will give you the uncollected tulips. All of them!
They are glorious xxx
ReplyDeleteLucky! Love the varieties of tulips in your vase
ReplyDeleteOh dear. At least you'll know for next year.The Tulips are beautiful though. X
ReplyDeletenot sure I'll be able to show my face next year...... the shame.
DeleteWorth arriving a little late for! xx
ReplyDeleteoh yes, my tulips were a joke in comparison.......
DeleteHow fortuitous to arrive late You received the bonus.
ReplyDeleteThe colour are so vibrant. Helen
I would have done the same. It worked out quite well for you, though! Beautiful tulips. x

ReplyDeletePerhaps being late is not so bad after all.....I would love to be given tulips for being late!

oh I do love tulips!
ReplyDeleteHaha -- well worth the late arrival! I think I might make that a strategy in the future LOL!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good plan from now on. You could send in different members of the family each year, so it doesn't arouse any suspicion. Beautiful tulips.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous tulips and gorgeous photos! Good thing you were late....x
ReplyDeleteHelen xox
