Flower Festival 2019. The Abbey Church, Ballasalla.

The Abbey Church is so named because it stands on ground that was part of the old Cistercian Monastery and Abbey

Apart from the confusion over the frame (the lady steward got it wrong almost certainly! there are some lovely displays here. I especially like your frame with the wedding veil display.
The statue of the two children is just charming!

[curiouswombat]

Oh yes - I am sure it was the steward that had it wrong, not that the arranger had told everyone her husband made it. And for the wedding display it worked so very well.

The statue tucked in at the bottom of the font made me smile.

They're all so pretty, and once again I'm most drawn to the fishing one, though the one centering on children and the fair trade ones are nice as well. They're all nice, really, and impossible to choose which is best!

[curiouswombat]

There are other fishing/sea themed ones to come yet. They are often my favourites, too

Some very nice displays, but odd your church was not credited for the frame.

[curiouswombat]

I'm sure we don't mind not being credited - but it would have shown an added sense of community to go with the theme. And the lady was so adamant that this was not one of our frames that I found myself quite convinced by her.

I wonder if she said, later, to the next steward on duty "Some woman thought that frame came from her church in Douglas!"

Only to be told "Yes, it came from St Andrew's."
