I am looking out at my garden this afternoon, it has rained all morning the sun has now come out, and everything looks delightful. I have lots of roses back in flower (typical, as I had none for the show in September!) the Asters are waving in the breeze, and my apples are ready to be harvested! But I have very few leaves on the lawn, a few Virginia Creeper, everything else seems to be hanging on, they are going to wait, I am sure, and will all come down overnight!
You are all very welcome at our AGM on Wednesday 6th November, 7.30 pm in the Vale Room, where Eileen will give her Chairman’s report on the year, the Presidents cup will be presented to the exhibitor with the most points over all sections in the show, (I wonder who that could possibly be), Austin will give a short talk on reading clouds and meteorological weather patterns, and Maggie will have bought some great cheese and wine for us to have afterwards! We would welcome some new committee members, so if you can help, just turn up on the night, and let us know! (we have approx 4/5 committee meetings a year, so not a lot of work)
We will be selling tickets for our Christmas Social evening, on Saturday 7th December at Upton Village Hall, supper, wine, juice, a few silly games, and a competition for the best Xmas Cracker! Tickets are available from the Post Office or Maggie & Austin in Upton. (I can’t remember the cost, but think its about £5!)
Happy gardening
