We had a great time at the Southminster flower show on Saturday, a big thank you to everyone that stopped by our stall to have a chat.
We couldn't believe how well we did in the different classes: three firsts and two seconds in horticulture and our decorated wellingtons were placed second and third.
Our Friday art and craft group created some giant flowers from re-cycled materials to decorate the stall. The petals are made from underlay and the centres were made using different materials for example necklaces, wool and even an old scourer. The group is friendly with the aim of people coming along and trying out different arts and crafts. People aren't expected to produce a master piece although we've had some lovely pictures along the way. Usually, there are several activities to choose from and a tea break mid morning.
