So I lied when I said the previous post was the last one of 2010 didn't I? I'm sure you don't mind another one though to bring together our gathering at the Malvern Autumn Show yesterday. It was an informal affair, mainly garnered from people tweeting they were going. So many, that I couldn't bear to miss out on all the fun. The weather was kinder than in May - clear blue skies, sunshine, but with distictly autumnal undertones. The show's improved since my last September visit 2 years ago as there was much more horticultural content this time round. Helen's already given some of the highlights in her report and I'll be making mine tomorrow.
Here's the rollcall of who went - links to their reports to follow as and when appropriate.
- Deb - Beholder's Eye (who has tweeted pictures here and here)
- James - Blogging from Blackpitts Garden (sitting in the audience for once! Read his perambulations on the subject of Malvern here)
- Ann - Grandma's Garden (a show preview plus introducing the new Red Love apple - spotted, but didn't get there in time to say hello which was a pity)
- Nick - Habitat Aid (who reveals he'll be exhibiting next year)
- Sharon - The Inelegant Gardener (her confession re not liking show chrysanthemums rather gave the game away - it's shame we missed you too. And here's another post)
- Mark - Otter Farm (here's his post from the showman's viewpoint)
- Helen - Patient Gardener (her general report is here and another is planned I believe)
- Simon - Serendipity
- Nigel - Silvertreedaze (oh no! another one who slipped my net, but thankfully not Sharon's)
- Claire - The Ecospot
- Me - Veg Plotting (where I found A Taste of the Unexpected)
- Michelle - Veg to Veg
If you attended over the weekend and I haven't mentioned you, or if better still you blogged about it, do let me know and I'll add you to the list.
