Chelsea

Late friend and myself went years ago before the crowds that are there now. I remember buying a beautiful " Chinese lantern " plant about 5ft tall-----it was lovely. Each bloom was exactly like a mini lantern and I haven't seen one since. I don't know it's Latin name. It stood quite happily at the back of the coach all the way home with all its lanterns intact.

I love to watch it on TV now, away from the crowds, with a bowl of strawberries and cream just for the atmosphere.

I've only been once but that was enough! I'm only little, and because of all the people I could hardly see anything. DH wants to go again, but I told him he'd have to go by himself. I love Chelsea on the television.

I'm going on Thursday and really looking forward to it. These programmes are great as it highlights things I'd really like to see so I'm sure not to miss them.
I know it's going to be really busy and hoping it keeps dry for us.

We too found that impressive. Amazing amount of work, and beautifully done.
DH would love to go but sadly it's too much walking for me and always seems so crowded.
