Visit Anne 3 December 2017

On Sunday 3 December the Food Garden Group visited Anne's garden at Margate -
Food garden visits are never cancelled, but in the seven years that our visits have now taken place, Sunday 3 December 2017 gave us by far the worst weather conditions ever. Our hosts at Margate measured 76 millimetres of rain in their rain gauge on the day. It never stopped pelting down for the entire time.

The photo below is what we saw from Anne's kitchen when we arrived. 

In spite of the atrocious conditions eight hardy members turned up and, thanks to Anne's hospitality in her kitchen and dining area, we had a great time, as always.

A few brave souls with brollies ventured outside with Anne in the never ending rain, but really this garden deserves a visit in dry conditions, when people can gain inspiration from the productive and interesting garden Anne has created.

With this in mind I hope to organise a second visit to this garden some time next season.

Many thanks to those who came and made this a great morning, in spite of the weather.

Many thanks to Anne, children Hannah and Edward, and husband (Michael?) for their hospitality on this worst day of the year.
