So close...

The day of reckoning finally arrived. Despite pouring rain the show benches were full of high quality sweet peas. This is an image of the judges examining my vase of Gwendoline (which one a first prize).

I was delighted to win the prize for the best scented bunch of sweet peas as judged by the public but my three other firsts, three seconds and a third place meant that I missed winning the overall competition by a single point. Great fun though and there's always next year.
