Westonbirt Bluebells

i completely agree lulu, i have tried to make one before now but maybe we could have some little metal ones ~ any time you went to a garden you could be recognised! ~ or dont wear it if you prefer to be anonymous!!!!

thanks for the reminder about westonbirt, i will have a think, i have work on wednesdays so not sure i can come but like the idea.

GoY picnic would be very good! also i go on holiday in may so wont be so easy for me ~ hope lots of people can go and i will come if i can.
i should bring a sticky toffee pudding!!!!

Sticky toffee pudding that will not last long if i'm about
Lulu is it half price on all wednesdays

if i can make it to the bluebells i will bring a big sticky toffee pudding ~ but we will have to cut it into little pieces!!

no not little pieces, big ones

but then there wont be enough! if there is only you, lulu and me you can have big pieces!!

Lovely idea Lulu. Like Sticki, I'm away early in May, but love the idea of a picnic if it gets organised.
Like the idea of a GoY badge too . . . surely there must be some designers on the site.

Would love to but it is a way away for me, what a shame, I think the picnic is a great idea and the badges, brilliant. Go for it Goyers, I would love to meet up with you all, perhaps one day!!
Just looked at website, its half price throughout April -May.

Sorry a bit too far for me to travel but I agree with the badge idea etc.

Grandmage, there is always a bed at my place, five miles from Westonbirt and Sticki, give us your date cos you just Have to be there!!! And as for Sticki toffee pud, naughty and I is on a diet Haha, no really, also gluten wheat intolerant....luckily I am a savoury person but Stcktoffpud is rather yummy!! Lets try and make a date when you lot CAN come? There is also Abbey Gardens but NOT on the nudy dates!!!!!

It would be nice to meet there - but I am affraid most of us work during the week - some of us work on weekends ;-(
Checked my weekends off - 7-8 May is my weekend off:) Badges are good idea - but is hard to convince people to wear them... Tried that, haha... Save a piece of pudding for me too!!! haha (or maybe even 2...)

We don't have to do a wednesday, it's just that I'm self employed and I'm da boss!! W/end is ok too, it's just that I saw that weds were half price except for RHS members! Might invest in that although I am mighty miffed that the abbey gardens don't partake in the membership!

i think im away on holiday 13-21 may, i have some work in school on wednesday afternoons which is a bit tricky - cant change it im afraid.

Come on come on come on Sticki!!! What about a w/end! Be great to meet you and wasn;t it you who wanted a day making mosaics? Off to walk half a mile home or else David won't get supper, see you guys tomorrow. x

half a mile home? where are you?
i will try lulu - mondays are generally better. but not monday 22nd.

I feel so lucky - I walked for 2 hours in our local woods today and they were full of bluebells and all for free :)
Nice idea to meet up though but a bit far for me and Millie!

Sort a Date lulu and i will see if I am available

Ok will do (sort a date!) Sticki I am in Hubby's office!
Bjs, yes I got free bluebells here too! Maybe we should meet in our local woods, but they may not be as spectacular as westonbirt!!

So what's the date Lulu? Can we do something on 8th of May? if yes I will see you then;-) just say what time:)

Will look at the diary asap x

hmm I think 8th May might be ok for me. Badge lol, how about the design, how about three acorns..oh hang on someones got that!! Can I have a patch for my leather jacket for the GoY motorbike gang, Hells growers (with a big passion flower in the middle, dont mess with us ; )

ouch Stevie - I was just thinking about asking you for a lift - since we live in the same area - hoping to meet you in person but think I have to think twice about it, lol.. Maybe I should meet you at the Arboretum??? Motorbike gang????? :o Hells growers???? I thought you were nice person, but not so sure any more, lol... you sound bit scary now, lol

Kasy, If you saw a biker with a passion flower on the back instead of hells angels would you be scared?
hmm maybe one of us can give the other a lift lets see if it comes together

well Stevie - biker is a biker... but thinking about a passion flower sounds better... maybe I will change my opinion, lol. Well - I like idea of a lift - as long as you pay for my entrance fee, lol

Get a side car and you can pick me up too!
really, will look at dates tomorrow............after nights of no sleep am off to bed zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZ!! X

oh, thank you Lulu - you saved me - no motorbike ride with a half-stranger;-) hooray!!! why didn't you sleep??? I should be off to bed soon as well - will just take a look at pics I took today ;-)

Slept better last night Kasy! We are also waiting for a mare to foal and we have a tv monitor on all night. Hubby wakes every hour to check her!

Stevie - the design for a badge is OBVIOUSLY the little tree growing out of the Y at the top of the page, in the words GrowsonYou!!! :))

I agree Sheila!

I am away on the 8th anyway, going away with the girls, Lulu, can't you lot move over here! Lol.

Oh dear...what date to choose? I think the 8th and maybe one more for those that can't make it!
Just have to see StevieTheT on his motorbike hehehe!

Think its a brill idea, hope you all have a fun day and then blog it so we can share too!!
