SPRING COLOURS BLOOM AT RHYDLEWIS GARDENING SHOW.

There was a definite Spring like atmosphere at Rhydlewis  when the Rhydlewis and District Gardening club held its annual Spring show at the end of March

Judges Bob and Rannveig Wallis were kept very busy assessing all the entries in flower, art and crafts and cookery sections. The entries kept coming including some new classes in the schedule which proved to be very popular. The kitchen was busy with customers requiring refreshments and a table was laden with raffle prizes. The club would like to mention Catherine at Only Pets and Horses of Horeb for their generous donation of a large box of fat balls to keep our feathered friends happy.
