We'd been involved a little with me helping with their web site and Jane producing a show leaflet for them. It was a three hour journey down and so Jane had organised an overnight stay at <a href="http://www.thebelleckington.com/" target="_blank">The Bell, Eckington</a>.

After three intense weeks of being on site and making their design into a reality they were happy to sit in their garden and be photographed by the press and interested show visitors. For the full story visit their<a href="https://ourrhsjourney.wordpress.com/" target="_blank"> web site.</a>

She never did like washing her car so now she just needs to take the shears to it and the jobs done.

We had a really great day and it was well worth the visit, we might even go again next year, who knows?
