In July we visited Romsey Abbey to see one of the exhibitions on show for the Romsey Festival. A member of Romsey Quilters introduced us to the exhibition and then members had chance to wander around the Abbey marvelling at the 100+ quilts on display. Afterwards we had coffee and biscuits served to us under the trees in the Abbey’s South Garth by the ladies of Romsey Abbey Catering. What a relaxed and inspiring morning it was - and so full of colour.
We will be making a return visit to Gilbert’s Nursery in Sherfield English to visit the glorious Dahlia Field. This will be the start of their season, but with all the hot weather we’ve been having, they will probably start flowering early this year. We will have tea/coffee and a scone whilst we are there.
Please meet at the nursery at 10.30a.m. If you need transport let us know and we will sort a lift. We also need to know numbers for the tearoom.
There is the usual £4 per person charge for this event to include the refreshments.
