At the Bucks meet Gaynor and Rob gave everyone a beautiful yellow rose with an ivy leaf at each side - really thoughtful and most appreciated - the meaning of them - yellow roses are for friendship and ivy symbolises friendship and fidelity - my rose is now being preserved - for eternity - and I will bring it with me to next years meet too. much love to all I met yesterday She xx

Mine is here in the computer room so I see it every day! Lovely idea to wear them all next year, or indeed at any GR get together. nell

Any tips on how best to preserve it. Mine's in a little vase of water next to the computer at the moment but I would like to keep it forever. Thanks Gaynor and Rob for the lovely gesture, I also checked out the website on the back on the card and was genuinely impressed, loved the photos. Carolyn

Hi She, Was lovely to meet you too. Amazing that we only live a few miles apart yet meet so many miles away! Ah well, the day was well worth the journey. See you next year!!! Jack x

yellow roses are for safe return i thought for soldiers, or people who are away , signifying youll wait for their return
