Malvern Autumn Show

[oldherbaceous]

Sounds as if you lot are going to have another one of those days to remember, good luck to one and all.

Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

Theres no fool like an old fool.

[Chantal]

Yup, you can count me and Rachel in for the Sunday.

Is Tigger in charge of catering again and if so, what instructions do we have this time please?

JB, I'll take your gherkins!

[Jenny Green]

Why don't you join us Herby? (And any other forum members too?)
I've yet to abandon my theory that you're actually a page 3 model. Go on - prove me wrong!
Chantal - better keep it quiet that you're coming. Don't want the papparazi getting hold of the information.

[Johnboy]

What have I always said. That Chantal is an angel in disguise!!

[Chantal]

Very funny Jenny but you needn't worry, I'll be in disguise with a bag over my head to avoid the cameras.

You do make a very good point that I was thinking about earlier today. This Malvern meeting is not just for a bunch of us that have already met; the more people that come along the happier we'll all be. Most of us only met for the first time at the Malvern Spring Show, so don't be shy, come and join us and put some faces to names.

[Chantal]

I've just booked tickets for me and for Seedling for the sunday, plus that wonderful Gold Car Park!

[Tigger]

Sunday would be fine for us. I don't want a reputation for being bossy (no comments please) but we'll co-ordinate catering if that's an invitation. However, we're not precious about it and happy to fall into line if someone else wants to take it on.

As Jenny and Chantal have already said - let's try to get as many as possible there, at least for lunch. We don't have to do the whole crocodile/school visit in line stuff, but a get together feast is a good opportunity for all of us.

It's the weekend before my 50th, so I'll be enjoying the final days of middle age.

I never was that good at maths......

[Chantal]

Well it's certainly an invitation from me.

As you say, last time worked well with us all wandering around in twos and threes and then meeting up for a fabulous picnic lunch and boot contents swap. So please, the rest of you out there, come along and join the party.

Which reminds me, Mr PH is going to be there too, right?

[Piglet]

no, he is putting up his new polytunnel

[peat]

I thought 50 was the beginning of middle age? or have I been lied to.
Pete

[Tigger]

I thought so too Pete, until the Council where I work published their strategy for older people. Definition of older person - 50.

[Piglet]

I now have a much improved roadkill quiche recipe.

[Jenny Green]

I thought the original roadkill quiche was pretty good!
I'm planning on bringing a tomato and basil salad and maybe an onion tart?
Don't know if I'm middle-aged, nearing old age or a spring chicken at the moment.

[Chantal]

You're a spring chicken Jenny. I'm rapidly hitting old boiler stage.

Chantal 46 1/2

[Johnboy]

Well Jennifer Mole 413/4,
What does that make me?
JB Mole 213/4 plus 41/2 dozen and a bit more!!
Oh dear oh dear oh dear does this mean the hill is now behind me?
Sincerely, JB.
