I was given a ticket for Christmas, looking forward to a good day out with my son. Only 10 days to go :-D

Lets hope the weather's nice I'm sure you'll enjoy it would love to go, we were looking forward to going to our Yorkshire Flower Show daughter asked last week when it was ............ found out the week before!!

Always wanted to go but its a long way from us and when we were both working it wasnt a possiblity.

OH now cant do the walking and I would be reluctant to try and do the drive anyway as he isnt capable of doing the navigation so we miss out . Always enjoy seeing it on TV though.

Have a lovely day and dont get too carried away buying plants :-)

Have a lovely day out, Enjoy it, however,Beware of the cost of things there, they,re rather Pricey.**M** :-D

take a packed lunch if you can ,food can be very dear at those sort of events .have a great time , we did 8years ago when we went.

Dear Carol Paine

Have a good day.
We went this evening and it was very crowded and very cold.
Enjoyable though and would you believe I only spent £2.50 on a packet of seeds :-0 :-0 :-0
Take care

Carol,
Hope you have a great time, I've been wanting to go to Chelsea Flower Show for years, unfortunately we live too far away, but please let us know how you enjoy it.
:-) :-) :-)

Let us know how you got on. I bet you were tired and your feet were sore. Hope the weather was ok for your day.

What an amazing Christmas present, you must be SO excited. I have always wished to go and join in with the crowds but have never managed it so far... I never say never though..... perhaps next year???

I think the weather was meant to improve, so perhaps you won't have needed to use your pac-a-mac. I hope you have had a wonderful day with your son and didn't spend too much!

I had a lovely time, the flower arrangements & the gardens are an inspiration. The rain did not stop me from having a lovely day out.

It rained most of the day & many people seemed ignorant of the fact that their umbrella's were causing injury to others. :-|

I polished up my old work shoes, so even after walking or standing all day my feet were not sore & my ankles did not swell. There is a lack of covered places to sit, so we ate out packed lunch standing under/in a gap in a hedge :-) I was very tired & thankful for the sit down in the train on our way home.

I took photo's until the camera battery ran out, so have reminders of all I saw. I took several especially for our Dizzi.

I jotted down the names of plants & suppliers so that I can order some. My husband will be kept busy... I want our garden to look less like a football pitch, with all the grass.

Did you see the prize winning Aussie garden :-D

Hope you enjoyed it and had a good look at the David Austin Stand,his Roses are great,lots of them in my garden and they,re just starting(Late) to bud.**M**. :-D :-D

Carol pleased you enjoyed it. I've been looking at the gardens online for the plant lists.

We saw the Aussie garden. It was very popular and very interesting. All the designers were there so you could talk to them.
Von

It sounds a wonderful day out in spite of the wet weather. You are sure to remember it for years to come Carol. Been there, done that and worn the pac-a-mac in the rain!!

We have a couple of TV recordings from Chelsea to watch yet. I will be sat with pen and paper handy to jot down plants that take my fancy, they go on my Wish List lol Nice to dream isn't it?
