Yesterday, the grandfather clock was carefully dismantled, loaded into the car and driven to Ruth's house. After a quick lunch, we set out for Chelsea Flower Show, meeting Rosie Price at Sloan Street Tube Station.
Meet Mabel and her son, Horace, who have taken up residence in my garden. They came from the first stall we saw inside the show ground and it was difficult to get them back to Egham because Mabel weighs a lot. There was a lot of sculpture around.
A blue glass agapanthus - large.
These dark red lilies really are this colour.
A lovely display of vegetables. The cream roots to the front left are horseradish. I collected lots of catalogues - coffee time reading for a few days. I found a supplier of auriculas and must order some. They said they bult their own auricular theatres and I could do quite well by buying an old bookcase. I shall keep an idea on freecycle. We were all tired at 8 o'clock and went home.
Today I have driven home, unpacked and started tidying up in the studio. I have already found a missing page for a book I want to bind. I msut go and see what else I can find.
Love those pigs! No wonder you wanted to bring them home. I have fond memories of the Chelsea Flower Show - we went every year were there.
ReplyDeleteThey were literally the first thing we saw inside the showground! A bit difficult getting them home but the firm would not post them so we just had to cope!
