With apologies to John Kenneth Galbraith..........

....who, as the Sage of Pempwell has recently pointed out, thought that "modesty was a vastly overrated virtue". Or, to put it another way, "if you've got it, flaunt it". Yesterday was the Stoke Climsland Village Show and Mrs P put in a few entries. How did she get on? Allow a proud husband to tell you.

One First in Class prize certificate for 3 Pom Pom Dahlias.

Five First in Class prize certificates for various Dahlia classes. A blooming successful day.

Here a few of the Dahlias that are getting into their stride now. We should have plenty of blooms for the house for the next few months.



Almost forgot, there was also the cup and rosette (plus £5) for the 'Best Family Garden'. We get to look after the Cup for 12 months so if you come around, we might just show it to you!
