Flower Festival 2009. Somerleyton.

How time does fly... time once again for Somerleyton Flower Festival...Jan rang yesterday morning, and off we went ..met up with Liz, and once again it amazed us where all the ideas for the flowers come from......

This year it was "Life's Journey" from Birth to Death.... I have put a few of them on here..hope you enjoy.

Firstly of course the stained glass there is gorgeous..

Think I put the tower on last year so this is the rest of the church, settled in the grounds of Somerleyton Hall, my father in law used to work at Somerleyton farm, so have spent many happy years around this estate.....

This was so sweet.....

Lovely ideas and another sweet item...

Not sure if this depicts teenage years nowadays though, but well arranged...

This was very clever, traffic lights and steering wheels...

They always have a music one, this was great ...still we think the one of jazz 2 years ago takes some beating....

The altar always has a good display but this year is was really great.

The flowers for the hair we thought particularly good..

We also loved this one as both Liz and I love to dance....in fact Liz and James have medals for their dancing...

Of course nowadays there seems to be a lot of divorce, such a shame...
