Cheeky Surprise Ticket!

What an evening! A very, very nice person at work presented me with a spare ticket to see Chatsworth RHS show after school. Woo hoo! Due to the washout the day before they had extended the opening time to 7.30pm.

Even more of a bonus, they took TheDopski home with them for tea, which left me with two hours of peace and quiet, extremely pleasant mooching around the gardens and stalls - I don't think Mrs I knows how priceless this gift was :)

Only down bit was that my old school friend, Gareth Wilson, had already gone home. His garden (in extra) won a Gold Medal, plus 'Best Show Garden' plus 'Best Construction Award'! :))

The other extra is a rather nice wooden sheep I took a fancy to - couldn't afford to even ask the price though ;)
