Chelsea Flower Show ( Part I) ........
I think those golden skies where a very good omen. A couple of days after my last post my dear friend Sam rang me saying 'she had an offer that I couldn't refuse' ....... an invite to go to Chelsea Flower Show on members day !!!! Of course I didn't refuse, I nearly did myself serious damage while jumping around the room with excitement !
.
I have always wanted to go and the invite couldn't have come at a better time, as I have been feeling rather low and fed up recently for reasons I wont bore you with.
My dear friend lives in Wiltshire so we arranged to meet at Waterloo at 9.30am. We had a quick coffee and chat then we jumped on a bus bound for Chelsea.
Below are some of the gardens, to say they are amazing is an understatement ! My photo's don't do them justice, I came away completely inspired with new ideas.

The yummy Mr Dermot Gavin !

The walls in this garden are made with sheets of white paper.



This Garden was one of my favorites and is designed by a lady called Bunny Guinness .

We where very lucky to have such a lovely warm, sunny day and where very tempted to dive into this !
