One balmy summer evening terror struck the hearts of Fowlmere residents! Why were the ‘gilets jaunes’ walking the streets of this usually peaceful village? Fears were soon allayed when the locals realised that it was the noble men of the Gardening Club wearing their high vis yellow jackets to ensure that members reached their destination safely by directing drivers to safe parking areas! Yes, it was the night of the soirée. Once a year a plucky family opens their garden for the Club and members enjoy a buffet and a drink or two in lovely surroundings. This year Maureen and Robin Cox hosted the evening. Their beautiful garden was a picture – we loved the way that the plants seemed to nestle happily together. The planting was superb, the rose garden and the pond completed the picture. Robin had even put together an excellent quiz about birds which challenged us all! A splendid occasion.
