Not long to go now, some plants ready for packing tomorrow

[Diane]

Good luck Jean! I won’t be able to come, unfortunately, I have a prior commitment tomorrow.

[Tony R]

Indeed, Jean. Good luck!
We look forward to seeing the photos/videos.

P.S. I like the 'little' pachypus.

[juster]

Thanks both! I will miss out annual chat Diane, but you won't miss the Purley one way system! Tony the pachypus had a good start, as you know, it's grown really well, I shall repot it soon.

A very good day yesterday with 14 exhibitors and a good flow of visitors, perhaps helped by an advert in the free local magazine. Just a nuisance that it poured with rain for clearing up!

The well supported Echinocactus class
