SUMMER SUNDAY AT WHIPWELL 2004

George and Pam Hummer opened their beautiful garden once again in aid of the Lawrence Home Nursing Trust. Annette Lawrence was manning the entrance when we arrived. Everything was looking magnificent. Pam seems to have been busy with lots of new planting.....the sweet pea colours were something special, there's an interesting new water feature but the Old English Roses stole the show. George is in excellent spirits. It was great to see Tamara again - visiting town from Stroud and in fine form drawing the raffle numbers. Bill Turner was casting a professional (and approving eye) over things. Mike and Terri Howes were there looking tanned and well after a weeks holiday which had been to recover from the exertions of Mike's brilliantly successful re-election campaign. John Grantham - looking relaxed - was conserving his energy for a looming battle over the Hospital. Joan Lawrence was telling us about her exhibition of new paintings opening soon in Bloxham.......and there were lots of other lovely people enjoying the flowers and the sunshine.  The carrot cake was superb. All in all a super way of spending a lazy Sunday afternoon before Wimbledon!
