Japan Day in Hampshire

Left at 6.50pm for drive to Hampshire. Found the hall fairly easily - it was quite a miracle - had to use a magnifying glass to read some of the road no's on the map - must be my age!! Learnt a lot about the most interesting speakers and content which entertains as well as being educational. The lady interpreter was absolutely excellent, the flower arranging great, the pictures of Japanese gardens fascinating and the history was interesting but the after-lunch spot is always difficult as sometimes people snooze!! Won some flowers - we had half each and I had the blossom!! A few of the arrangements above. My roses still lovely and actually 'arranged' them today - probably not up to Ikebana standard but they look good (to me!).
