Just when you’ve spent 4 hours sweeping part of the judging route the combine harvester passes through the village! Now worse than when we started. Hope the judges understand when we appear like scarecrows tomorrow morning! ⁦⁦The RHS⁩ @RHSBloom⁩

The fabulous Britain in Bloom judges, Jon Wheatley and Alan Hulme giving us a royal wave before setting off to judge Guernsey. Really enjoyed the tour of the village today. You feel very proud of everything that’s been achieved especially with the weather of late. @RHSBloom

As the Britain in Bloom judges departed,the Dibbers could finally relax with some (Draycott made) champagne with a little raspberry and red currant cordial added. Just what was needed. And relax…! @RHSBloom East Midlands in Bloom

We raided the planting schemes and made a delicious tomato, nasturtium salad with dates and pistachios. The chard leaves went into a fabulous cheese, chard and lemon filo pie. Wish the judges could’ve stayed to taste the displays! @RHSBloom Amberol UK

The experimental succulent frame has survived the summer surprisingly well. Recycled from old guttering and planted with some of the succulents we’d purchased from another In Bloom group 4 years ago. #Recycle #reuse @RHSBloom The RHS
