) so we could make it
a two centre meet (not much by way of flowers at the Swannery but lots of swans and cygnets).
Edit: Is it time we definitely confirmed the date of our meet? (See end of thread).

Abbotsbury Mini Meet - finalising date |
Lead | ||
|
Judging from my photographs it looks like May is a good time to visit the Abbotsbury Sub-Tropical
Gardens in Dorset. (Between Weymouth and Bridport on the South Coast.) May/June is also a good time to visit the Abbotsbury Swannery (subject to Bird flu of course
) so we could make it
a two centre meet (not much by way of flowers at the Swannery but lots of swans and cygnets).
Edit: Is it time we definitely confirmed the date of our meet? (See end of thread). ![]()

I'm coming over to the Uk for a family get together in early May. As my sister lives in Dorset, it might be possible for me to meet up with some of you,
which would be such fun. I'm only there for a few days mind, so it would have to be the weekend on the 3rd or 4th, as I have to be in London on 5th. I was
hoping to fit in a garden visit somewhere along the way. Any chance?

We are planning a trip to Devon in May so may be able to tie it in. What date were you thinking of?

The date I have is Saturday 3rd May Rich (bank holiday weekend) as Busy Bee was scheduled to be in this country on that weekend. However, we've haven't
seen her for three weeks so she may have lost interest.
I know Pip and I are happy with that date; I know that if Pen joins us she will be bringing the littlies on that date; and I also know that I can't make any time between 6th to 14th May or the 24th. ![]()

I've assumed about 11.00 am but as it is only 20 minutes from me may be anyone coming from further afield should decide.

Oh dear, I would LOVE to meet up with you, but there are just not enough days to do everything. It just isn't going to fit in this time, I don't arrive
in London til Friday night, and have to do a presentation of our family tree to assorted rellies on Monday, with others to see in between. So sorry to hijack
the date and then drop out. I'll try harder next time. Think I should have chosen a different nickname - I'm getting TOO busy!
If you do go, do please take piccies for me to enjoy.
Belinda, the busy bee
