Congratulations to you Graham. He is now Scrumpy Vagabond for the next twelve months. Hehe I've been called worse Got a 1st too for Brenda T, 2nd for single bloom Clearview Louise. Nothing for Barbarty Pip and Ryecroft Jan Given me a bit more incentive to prepare a better 2nd flush for next year. Pip and Jan have been left to nature and whilst throwing up loads of blooms, just a little on the small side. Bit of proper restricting and they should be better. Lousie I think created a bit of interest. Just needed a slightly larger centre. I should have entered the 3 that went to the local newsagents It was held on a narrow side shoot but still hit the ring, and was very very close to being oversize. Nice to talk to a few people and put some faces to names though. |

Well done scrumpy, I had to smile at ian's comment saying you are now scrumpy vagabond. I can just picture you going in to the vagabonds den, then walking off with their silver medal.  You will have to change your user name now. |
