After all the hot weather, not to mention the drought, it was surprising that there were nearly three hundred exhibits at the Summer Show. The King Edward Hall looked a picture as the LHS members demonstrated that it would take more than a lack of rain to interfere with their horticultural skills. But there was more than just horticultural skills to enjoy; from Brian Fitzgerald’s superb delphiniums, to Lorelei Hilson’s mouth watering strawberry tart, to Pat Pickworth’s wonderful flower arrangements, to Tim Richardson’s fantastic vegetable collections, via Ruby Anscombe’s very tempting fairy cakes and Andrew Harding’s map of the river Ouse area around the village, it was all a delight as can be seen from the accompanying photographs by Carolyn Nurse and Tim Richardson.
