As I was driving down to London this morning at 2am I was wondering if I wasn't wasting my time. 8 firsts and 240 quid later I'm very glad I made the effort. Pick of the bunch was a win in long carrots and a very competitive tomato class. When I staged my tomatoes (chosen by Leesa I have to admit!) Charlie Maisey said "you've got a good chance with those there boyo".
My long carrots weren't the biggest you'll ever see but they carried their weight well down, were uniform and nice and clean. I even got to have my photo taken by Medwyn. Hope he got my good side!
I notice you've omitted Leesa's superb winning trug, which must have been a no-brainer as far as the judge was concerned. I reckon you ought to try one of your own next year.
ReplyDeleteI'm now actuially going to admit it was good to see you today. Claire said you seemed like a nice little chap and is sending you a couple of razor blades.
Whatever, a superb result.
Well done.
