Milner Gardens Trip (July 17, 2010)
The weather was gorgeous and a wonderful time was had by all who attended the Milner Gardens trip. The gardens were exquisite and there was a lovely luncheon in the main house and tea room. The sightseeing was great along the coastal route on he way up, with stops in Coombs on the way back (to see the goats on the roof) and enjoy some ice cream. Many thanks to Lianne Hunter for all of her organization and to Harvey and the Smith Transportation Company.
