The Prestatyn Flower Show 2011

There must be some "showman" blood in our family somewhere.
I suspect it may come from my father, who would make a speech when opening the fridge door, but certainly the skills to organise a "show" are there in our family for all to see.,
I of course help organise our Flower Show here in Trelawnyd as well as the now annual "open Allotment Day", my twin sister, Janet, has developed and organised more events that you can shake a stick at,in support of Motor Neurone Disease over the past year or so ( and raised over 11 grand in doing so) and my elder sister, Ann, has spearheaded the highly successful Prestatyn Flower Show for going on twenty years now.
The Flower Show In Prestatyn runs over two days, and I missed the opening day yesterday as Chris had the car (his motorbike still being under the forensic gaze of man mountain copper "Gareth with the tattoos")..and so taking Constance and George out for a treat, we went down to the coast to join in with her show!
The Flower and Veg tent
Prestatyn's Show is much grander than Trelawnyd's

The chap that won the veg trug will be entering our show ( after a bit of arm wrestling!)


Ann (my sister always wins with her stunning floral art!)

One of the prize winning scarecrows Princess Beatrice and THE hat 

We sat under the trees in the vicarage gardens and listened to the brass band play "tillidly pom pom pom" 

The best thing to come out of Rhyl (the town's brass band)

And finally... Constance when she got home
it was all a bit too much!!!!
