Prince Charles visited our stall in Albany Show 2015
Albany Show 2015 was something special.
The Bearded Iris flowers done us proud we won 3 classes as well as the champion Iris for the show.
The long hot dry Spring made it hard to have real top quality flowers, as everyone was in the same boat it was put in what you have and see how it stands up. That was Friday.
Saturday the whole town of Albany was talking about the visit of The ROYALS we hoped that we would see them.
To standout in the crowd I wore my red Indian costume .
I had Camilla walk to me and she was taken with the flashy red Costumes she Said “ want a splendid outfit “ I said “I was trying to out do you” Camilla said “ well you certainly have done that. I really love it” and then she walk on.
10 minutes later Prince Charles came out of the pavilion he was being directed away down the road and I thought my chance to meet him was gone. He glanced back and stopped in his tracks and turned and came back just to meet me. Charles said “ you have won the prize”
I said “what have I won” Charles said “for the most glamourous outfit. It reminds me of my Uncle , Louis Mount Batten he was in India.”
We talked about where I got the costume I said in Kolkata India .
And where I was from in Collie western Australia . He asked where that was I said 250 kilo metres from here . He said what a splendid effort you have made and thanks very much, And the he left me.
We had a very nice Albany Show it will be remembered for a long time.
