We had thought about going but the wife isn't well and with the dodgy
weather I decided that it's just not worth it. It's a round trip of
around 325 miles, and around 7 hours of driving on a good day, I'd
want good weather for the journey and the time there.
Well there's always next year.

Last year was great LOTS of stall and great plants etc., but crowds were
horrendous. If you had your card with you and came in from the far end
then you could get in the side gate which was much quicker.

Queues and Queues of traffic and last year a horse box had broken down,
though our other major delay was that we were travelling in the middle
lane southwards and a convoy of large lorries meant we missed the exit!!

Apparently there were some real bargains this year and my friend got a
really interesting Mahonia, with orange berries and a sort of reddish
glint to it, not too large either. Not sure of name but new to our group
of gardeners so cuttings will be taken
