Malvern Spring Show Grape Fest

[pigletwillie]

Between May 10th and 13th its the Malvern Spring Show.

Piglette and Myself along with Wellie and Trousers are going to be going over the weekend and would love any grapes who can make it to join us for a picnic style lunch in the Gold carpark. Sunday is bargain plant day as the display plants get sold off at the end of the day, see picture of Piglette making like a bandit with a display fuscia, so that may be the best day to go.

If anybody who can make it and wants to join us can bring something either home made or home grown (keeping the GYO philosophy going) to nibble on we can perhaps have a veritable feast and put names to faces. Dont worry, we dont expect everybody to "stay in a group" all day. We can just come together to scoff all of the goodies at lunchtime and do our own things for the rest of the day..

Anyways, who's up for some serious plant therapy and quality home fare.

Here is a link.

Hmm, its on our weekend off, think I'll have a word with Mr D and see whether he fancies a trip down! Think the MINI could probably do that in about an hour and a half or so, if the roads are clear that is!

[nick the grief]

OOOOOHHHHHHH it would be ever so tempting all those lovely plants would my wallet stand the strain would you all stand the shock more to the point (still I could always do a runner with your stuff while you were unconscious

I'll see what we are a doing of Piglet.

[deb of the wych]

sounds good I was hopeing to go this year Just got to see what shifts my OH is on

Congratulations Mazel-bee hope all goes well at least youve got less chance of getting soaked

[Mrs Dobby]

Nice one Mazel-Bee! Hope the wedding goes well! Whereabouts in Greece are you going? My Mum emigrated to Corfu 7 years ago, and loves it! We keep sayign that one year we'll do the Italian Job in our MINI and drive over to see her, just gotta get the funds together! Ah well, perhaps next year!

[mazel-bee]

I'm getting married in Zakinthos. We are hoping to pop to Athens for two days for a mini honeymoon which will be really exciting, I have always wanted to see the history in Athens. I'm sure I'll get busy posting closer to the time when I am beginning to threat about forgetting my passport and stuff!!

[Mrs Dobby]

Mums been to Athens, said it was even better than she had thought it would be, which is quite a compliment from my Mum!

[nick the grief]

Be even better when it's finished

Well done Mazel I can thouroughly recommend Marriage - I could never have got a housekeeper that Cheap

BTW when they say fotos of the honeymoon the acroppolis will do just fine

[muckdiva]

Hmmm, Malvern is not too far away from us either. Sounds like a good event to go to.

[Hazel at the Hill]

Yup - sounds like a good 'un to me! See if I can get partner-in-grime (hmm - that's P.I.G. - she'll love that!!!) Jane and family to come along too!

[HappyMouffe]

I go every year, with my dad, as it's literally 5 mins drive from his house. I'll be going on the Friday, though, as I have to work on the Sat & Sun

[pigletwillie]

I mentioned the Gold car park in my first post, no I am not having delusions of grandeur but this car part is right outside the entrance gate and makes it much easier to meet up for lunch.

The other car parks are spread about everywhere and can mean a good walk carrying scoff and having been before we can bagsy a nice corner which is sheltered and just the job for a wee picnic.

It sounds great to me.... bit of a trek from London though... I'll have a word with Oh when he gets in (try to catch him in a good mood!) but fingers crossed
