      Has anyone come up with ideas for dates for the Wisley one yet? We are taking our Japanese student to see the butterflies RHS Wisley - Butterflies in the Glasshouse
      but as someone said, it might be a bit cold for a picnic yet, and the cafe prices are exorbitant for what you get. The pub (The Anchor) by Pyrford lock is nice and the food is good, around £10 for a meal though, so not cheap. It's very popular, I don't know if they take bookings.
      If just OH and I go, we use the pub , if we take the kids, we eat a picnic in the car

      I could not live without a garden, it is my place to unwind and recover, to marvel at the power of all growing things, even weeds!

              Think someone (dunno who!) needs to suggest specific dates, place, time etc so we can start to make definite plans

                If the people who want to go to Wisley PM me with dates they would be available, I don't mind trying to sort that one out. Also if anyone wants to go, but hasn't transport, it might be possible to get car sharing sorted out too. I would think if someone (volunteers needed?) takes responsibility for organising each one, then something might happen.

                  I'm happy to drive, but need to wait until I've got some dosh for Diesel - Landies aren't cheap to run, unfortunately. OH runs his on chip oil, but there's only two seats in that! Weather should be better next week, so I can get out and get my hands dirty!

                    Tell me about it But then we do love our Landys so forgive them, although I think Denzel would have a breakdown if I tried him with chip oil

                      OH's (an H reg Discovery called Baggy) will happily run on 50% veg oil But it does make you fancy fish & chips when you're following him sometimes

                          Yes my OH had that problem with his Disco - him and his colleagues ended up having lunch from the Chippy every Friday to get over the craving!

                              I should be going to Stonham Barnes, if I keep Mr S sweet in the meantime

                                I'd be up for the Wisley one. Can do any dates except the 17th Jan and the 21st Feb. I think!
