    The Chelsea Flower Show is on this week, and I am going this year! YAY!!!! There are 6 of us going on Saturday, the closing day, which means at 5 o'clock a large bell is rung and all of the plants are sold off. I shall have to make sure I have some money handy to bag some bargains. I shall of course take 16 trillion photos and give you all a blow by blow account of our day. :)

    Sounds wonderful EJ! I'm glad I don't have to remind you to take your camera ;)
    Any plant in particular you are looking for?

    I'm afraid to say that I got bored with the TV programme about the Chelsea Flower show tonight so turned it off. :( I'd much rather see your photographs EJ so will look forward to them. I hope you pick up loads of bargains - I'll be projecting my thoughts your way and urging you on!! :p Let's hope the weather is warm and sunny on Saturday so that you enjoy your day out to the full.

    Wow...you lucky thing, you! Oh what I wouldn't give to be able to accompany you on saturday. I have always wanted to go on that day. Just how I'd het the Light blue Delphiniums back to Holland, I don't know....but i'd try. hahahaha.
    We will keep our eyes peeled for you. Please try and stand ringside when they are filming somewhere, eh?
    Well I can tell you right now that I will not rest until I see your trillions of pics and read your account of that day.
    Have a great time and think of all of us here sitting, all green with envy :D but VERY happy for you.

    Wish I was joining you there Emma :) Hope you don't get crushed in the rush for the plants once the bell rings :D Have been watching the programmes and although I like many of the gardens I must admit to not liking the 'concrete jungles' as I call them. Give me a traditional garden any day.
    Look forward to seeing your photos.
