This year was the 150th anniversary of the Borgue Flower Show. There were over 200 classes for prizes this year for flowers, fruits, vegetables, baked goods, preserves and various arts and crafts. As usual, we left our preparations until the last minute but Gabrielle managed to assemble enough items to enter 8 different classes and we got our entries to the show with just a few minutes to spare before the 09:30 deadline.

Gabrielle won two first prizes, for rhubarb stalks and for oat and raisin cookies, two second prizes, for Crocosmia flowers and bread and two third prizes, for marmalade and blackcurrant jam. Here is Gabrielle in Borgue Church discovering her first prize for the rhubarb.

Our friends Susan and Mark from Houston were visiting and helped us celebrate by drinking our prize money in the Borgue Hotel after the show.
