We have only had one trip since the beginning of the year, as the trip to Kingston Lacey NT in February was cancelled, due to the wet weather, which was a shame.

In March we did manage to visit two different NGS Open Gardens, in Charlton Musgrove and then Pen Selwood and 20 members came along, even though the weather was again cold and windy. At least we managed some lovely home-made cakes with our coffee inside a nice warm barn at the first garden!

In April we are going slightly further afield to an NGS Open Garden near Beaminster, Dorset and I am expecting a similar number to attend, so are looking forward to it and hope the weather is kind to us, on this trip. We also have trips for May and June already organised, which is good.

We had another high turnout (of 20 members) at our monthly Coffee Morning earlier this month, at our usual venue. Also, our newest member came along, so was introduced to everyone there. This is our 30th member, which means we are now full and fortunately, we don't have anyone on the 'waitlist' at the present time, so good news!
