Abit of Trumpet blowing......

my own that is... i have been away on a weeks cruise to Norway which was fabulous.  Anyway when I got back learned that I have  come in the top Dreamboat 3 in the TIO #144 challenge Beach.




I got back on Thursday and knew i had to get ready for a local competition for the Horticultural Society in the WI category.  I entered as part of a team.  ie Cake ,a Floral arrangement and a Craft item.  This was our first ever attempt, so we were not expecting much.....WE WON !  even got a cup.
This was our entry...all based on the letter B.  the cake is a Battenberg cake and was marked 20/20.  The flowers were an arrangement with Banksia and Brouvardia and Bamboo.  Then there was my steampunk balloon, which now has a stand , from which the balloon is suspended .   We are so proud.  Thanks for looking.
