Reprise of Devon meet idea
June was quite right, I was indeed sipping a glass of Madeira m'dear when
some of the replies to my original post about this came into urg. From the little catching up I've had time to do today, I think the general thinking is now to move the possible meet to Judith's? In case it isn't, and we decide to have two, then yes, Janet, I think three hours from you to us should just about do it. We allow 3 to 3.5 hours to get to London from here by car and Jim (I think it was Jim) Bovey Tracey is mere minutes from here - 20 perhaps and Exeter airport (just to give you a bearing) is about half an hour. We just drove home from there this morning! Can someone kindly bring me up to speed on the Norwich meet idea? -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |

Now then, you are not getting out of the Devon meet, I proposed a second one - and you are, as you know, very welcome to stay in the house - plenty of rooms. I am thinking next June or early July and all those attending will be invited to dinner - no Sacha, I have not learnt to cook yet, I am offering Edward as the Chef for the night, I am quite adept as the wine hostess. -- Judith Lea |

Now then, you are not getting out of the Devon meet, I proposed a second one - and you are, as you know, very welcome to stay in the house - plenty of rooms. How really kind - I'm sure we'd love to do that. Ray is longing to thank you for the wedding present....... ;-) I am thinking next June or early July and all those attending will be invited to dinner - no Sacha, I have not learnt to cook yet, I am offering Edward as the Chef for the night, I am quite adept as the wine hostess. Depending a bit on other family events coming up, we'd probably try to do a meet in mid July OR, if it clashes with yours, I could try to move it into May, as long as it doesn't hit a Bank Holiday w/e. It's really a question of what is convenient to others in terms of trekking to the far SW! We weren't able to do our Grand Tour of UK this year as we'd hoped, so would quite like to plan it for mid July to mid August of next year. Unhappily, we really can't get away to see gardens at their very best time because it's such a busy time here. Perhaps urglers would like to add their ideas of the best times to get away to a meet and perhaps to make it part of a long w/e? -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon http://www.discoverdartmoor.co.uk/ |

I am guessing you normally go for a weekend so we may be off working but if not would like to join in, though no chance of us getting away at that time of year (unless its work!) I will keep an eye on the thread to see what you all decide on.

writes That way, they could come here one day and on to you the next, taking in the Eden Project, perhaps? And of course, there's Rosemoor up north a bit and now Greenway is open to the public, too. Our gardening Association is doing Devon next year for the long weekend. They are going to The Garden House, ChiffChaffs, Buckland Monarchorum, Plant World, Desert to Jungle, Snape Cottage and Stourton Flower garden.

I expect you will have Blanquette d'Veau as he seems to serve this up for supper - he has perfected the sauce! Janet, I don't know how to thank you, a veritable crate arrived this morning full of cuttings; I really cannot express my thanks to you. I will pot some up and take them to France in November and the others will be planted soon. I have to pay your postage, the box was so big I could get at least 3 pairs of gold slippers in it? Please send me your address by email and I will forward you stamps to the value of the postage. I can't wait until this evening to go through them, Edward has strict instructions to give them a little water and to keep them upright! -- Judith Lea |

Well, throwing my hat in the ring, as it were, we would love to go to a meet, and could manage Sacha's since I have a cousin at South Zeal where we could stay I'm sure. Would also love to go to Judith's g but I think the journey is more of a problem for us to Norfolk. However I will watch this space to see what dates etc are decided. -- Sally in Shropshire, UK |
