New home for hamper

Let's hope the summer weather holds - because one lucky winner in the raffle at the Thorney Abbey Flower Festival today walked away with a summer picnic hamper. Well, they may not have walked far if they were carrying the hamper. It's heavy!

It has been a delightful warm (or even hot) Bank Holiday Monday (what a change from the traditional British bank holiday weather!) for the event with flower displays in the Abbey and stalls on The Green.  It would be a shame if the weather changes and prevents the hamper being used at the picnic it is designed for.

We've packed it with all sorts of goodies including wine, cheese, biscuits, chutney, jam and more. It really will make a splendid 'al fresco' meal for the lucky winner and a few friends or family.

The Larkfleet picnic hamper now has

a new home - until it's used!

We've also been pleased to welcome lots of visitors today at our show home at Thorney Meadows. We're open there all week (and next weekend too) whatever the weather. Why not come and take a look?
