I thought I had posted this when I wrote it first thing yesterday, but it seems to have disappeared into the ether!!!!!
I would like to say a 'big thank you' to all of you who so valiantly turned what could have been an absolute disaster into a better day then anyone could have expected. Many hands made both preparing, running and clearing up afterwards so much easier for the family. I am sorry that I was very much on the sidelines but I had a good day because things went so well without any input from me. While I was 'holding court' in the Conservatory so many of the visitors said how good the Bubble Shed look with all its additions and improvements, thanks mostly to son-in-law Michael' hard works ,and how much they enjoyed our Open Days including this soggy one because it was always so relaxed and so friendly. In spite of the weather we had visitors from Holland, Germany, France. all parts of England as well as several new local folk who joined us for the first time. 85 visitors were counted, but Lesley feels there were others who crept in unnoticed.
So I hope everyone will take a big pat on the back for all their efforts and let's hope next year we will have the sunshine again to grace an even bigger and better event.
I know all the family will join me in saying we could never do it without all your help. Watch Lesley's Face Book page for photos.
