Midland Spring time grapefest - Venue is RYTON GARDENS

[Glutton4...]

Ruddy 'Ell! How many of the above will oversleep - or not sleep at all, after all that!

I'm with you in spirit, have a fab time. Jo's lottie is great, and if she's had time to make her courgette cake (which she probably won't have) you're in for a real treat.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who came today. A beautiful day, as the heavens only opened the minute LRC and I got to Brum.

It was a lovely opportunity to meet and have a chat. My unreserved thanks to aunts Zazen and VVG for getting us all assembled.

LD makes the best chocolate cake ever; a masterpiece.

Oh, now I'm even more jealous, having encountered LDs famous chocolate cake before!

[VirginVegGrower]

I loved the cake LD and thanks for bringing it. Hope your kale plant grows well for you.

[HeyWayne]

Massive (I don't do any other size) thanks to you all. To reiterate what's already been said - thanks HH for kicking things off, to zaz and VVG for getting us all there and not castrating/killing me in the process. LD - the cake was off the scale. Thanks for the plants VVG - I'll hopefully have things to trade myself next time. Neet commented on how much she enjoyed the tour of the gardens zaz - and how you'd be a natural as a TV presenter - mate your next career choice...

Grey to see you all, thanks again. My feelings for the vine have been reinvigorated.

[VirginVegGrower]

My feelings for not bringing two ahs bricks have been reinvigorated too
Was good to meet the tall one. Next time I'm wearing my jack up kit. Either peeps are growing taller or I am shrinking.
You have no need to trade man, you were welcome to the plants. I know you have been time strapped.
Hopefully we woz worth it

I told you Wayne did really exist and wasn't just a figment of my imagination.

I reckon Chris is made up. Wales must be a really long way away.

[veggiechicken]

I can assure you Chris does exist - in a funny world of his own maybe - but he is real

One of these days I will actually get to go round Ryton when everything is in full flow......but it was the first time I've been round when it hasn't been either raining, snowing or blowing a hoolie.....
LD that chocolate cake was wonderful.....and it was nice to meet some new people.

[VirginVegGrower]

That kale looked good though didn't it Bins?! Think what they missed...
