We arrived at 8.30am and left at 4pm, walking the 30min journey from our hotel and back again at the end of the day. We experienced a couple of showers of rain but they only lasted a minute or so, we think we avoided the worst of it when we were in the pavilion. The sun shone and the sky was often blue when it wasn't looking grey and stormy.
The worst thing about Chelsea for me was not being able to purchase plants and garden paraphernalia which was plentiful and worthy. For Rod it was the crowds of people. The best thing about Chelsea for me was 500 exhibitors of interesting, beautiful, unique, inventful, gobsmacking and luscious garden displays and related products. The best thing for Rod was that I couldn't purchase plants and garden paraphernalia ! But seriously Rod liked the clever creativity and inspiration that was plentiful and varied.
Enjoy the photos, I have plenty more and then there are Rod's photos.
Tomorrow it is up, up and away. A chance to sit back and let some one else do the driving and navigating. A chance to just stop and catch our breath and rest.
Looking forward to seeing and hugging family.
Love the last photo guys and will be nice to see you both back home again. Your walking friend has been missing you and can not wait for your walks to fire up again, she's been fairly morose since you have been away. Have a quiet trip home [hope you don't get caught with all those plants in your baggage Jen] See you at home. And thanks for a wonderful trip....it was just the best!
ReplyDeleteThanks Gerry it has been awesome to have your comments regularly. No doubt about getting back to walking as there is some cooked breakfasts and traditional pub food I need to loose from my waist ! Your turn next, just around the corner.
DeleteCheers and thanks again
You would have been in your element Jenny!
