RHS Chelsea Flower Show |
What a lovely day out at the Chelsea Flower Show with my friend Victoria. The weather was glorious and the flowers spectacular. Even the trains were running on time! |
The shops along the Kings Road had 'flowered up' too! | Beautiful shop display, no expense spared. | That's what I call a big entrance! |
We couldn't resist going in for 'one'! | ||
Look at the outside of this pub! | Can you see me? |
Next stop lunch and a cheeky cocktail at the Bluebird Cafe! |
And we're here! |
The Great Pavillion. |
|
Met this wonderful gentleman and got a kiss! | ||
Bloomin' marvellous! |
||
Little Weeeeeed amongst the chrysanthemums! | Some shameless promotion of my book! |
Perfect peonies. | More perfect peonies! | Hello! |
Beautiful scented roses. | Chrysanthemums | Peonies again. |

How's this for a Harvest Festival? | Can't help myself! |
The German lady who took this photo asked if we were mother and daughter! WTH? | A sea of Gladioli |
This company makes garden ornaments based on children's book characters. Anyone for tea? | I'm late for a very important date... |
Don't believe him Jemima! He's a bad fox! | Squirrel nutkin, and can you spot more shameless advertising? |
Lookout for Mr McGregor, Peter Rabbit! | I love fairies! |
Paddling hot little feet. | Kissing fairies! |
Half time refreshments with the Chelsea Embankment in the background, happy days! |
Outside walkabout. Cascade of roses. |
Displays everywhere you look. |

Such a pretty flower. | ||

Old Massey Ferguson. |
Couldn't resist having a photo with that backdrop. | Even the snackwagons were floweryfied! |
Little bee sculptures. |
Afternoon tea in the Drawing Room. |

Serenaded by a harpist. | Yet another photo with a glass in my hand! |
Wonderful driftwood horse. | Menacing driftwood dragon |
We had been on 'celebrity watch' all day. Finally we saw Mary Berry who looked gorgeous. Hard to believe she's 86! |
