Better luck with the camera this time Eric!
How far is it for you to Blackpool?

It is about a 100 miles. I have an aged aunt and various cousins who live there so we visit them after the show. The lighting in this place is better and I have had good results from there before. I will check this time that I have not pressed the wrong button!

Nothing like bitter experience to serve as a reminder.
Have a nice day Eric.
Will it be a reshow of the things on display last week? What did you think of that show?
What types of plants (in the main) were on display?

Alpines from A to Z, well not quite, say Crocus to Ypsilandra!
Mostly the same plants, but some new and some will have finished flowering. Different because this show also includes people from Scotland as it is a Scottish Rock and AGS show combined.
