Well what a surprise, I came first and second...totally shocked by the winning display as i thought it wasn't that good....just goes to show. I am so excited as I have self taught myself mainly reading from books. My friend Gill has given me a few tips and I went to my first flower club class this Wednesday at the Kettering and District Flower Club and watched a flower arranging demo. My grandmother, my dad's mum loved flower arranging and her garden and this first winning entry is dedicated to her memory. I always remember taking tea with her and when she sat in her armchair she had a mahogany stand behind her which she always had an arrangement on. It was lovely, I took my friend Sue up to the show to see the entries and that's when I first learnt i had won....we had a nice drink and cake to celebrate. Then my friends Claire and Jenny popped in to see the flowers which was lovely. I am taking mum and dad up there tomorrow for the presentation, its such a shame Michael has to work all weekend and cannot be there, but never mind. Anyway here are the entries with their winning cards on. So, so excited.
