after the show


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!

  10. Sounds 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.
