Hello!
The current husband and I had a smashing day out at the BBC Good Food and Gardeners' World Shows
Can't say I enjoyed the Foody part, bit too corporate for me, but the Flower Pavilion in the Gardeners' World area was another thing.
Plant nirvana.
The current husband scuttled off for an hour of food and drink tasters, whilst I ooohed and arrghed my way around the plants...
I bought some beautiful Lily bulbs, not the ones below but the Star Gazer type and I also managed to find a Gloriosa Lily bulb too.
This was the only show garden outside that I cared for. Running stream through pebbles and stones with a back drop of erect sleepers. Really lovely. I do love running water in a garden.
A bit of celebrity watching ... Carol Klein, doing her 'piece' to camera...
and Alan signing books.
It was a lovely day and made a really nice change.

Now, just a little note to say that I was thrilled to get a mention in July's Homes & Antiques Magazine.
They have a very interesting article about Pinterest and at the end of the article suggest five Pinners to follow and I am one of them.
If I am ever feeling low, uninspired and in need of fix of something lovely to brighten the day, Pinterest does it for me, everytime, without fail.
Another online time stealer :)
Thanks for stopping by. x
