Hampton Court Flower Show

Hello hello! I went to Hampton Court Palace yesterday to the Flower Show, heavenly day. So grab a cuppa and let me show you the teensiest slice of all the things I liked, lots of pictures and no babble from me if I can possibly help it (unlikely!)
Seriously dont ask! I have no idea what was going on but it caused a very inappropriate guffaw from me and SIL and I had to make a hasty exit from this particular Marquee, not quite Men in Union Jack pants but not a million miles away either!
Anyway, on to the beautiful stars of the show..........................................














This poppy is called "Ladybird" I think it's perfect




My heart broke to think that this pebble mosaic will be dug up at the end of the week. I offered to take it home but "computer said no"




You knew if there was one there I would find it!



This whole display was full of herbs planted in unlikely objects, I loved it






What lucky chickens



Couldn't quite get this in my bag



There was this one awful moment where those pants looked terrifyingly familiar but then I remembered I was wearing them !





I long for a pizza oven in the garden a la Jamie Oliver, Sarah Raven et al.




This one is for you Dids!




He said "I dont know anyone else who goes to a flower show and comes home with a patchwork quilt"

"Oh I do" I said breezily "lots of people do."

(And anyway its a patchwork sleeping bag.)

Message from my Editor in Chief (Him down the lane.):

"There are far too many pictures in this entry you must learn to edit them down and only show your very very best! "

So I have left the other 103 images out for now!

  2. You can put as many pictures as you like on your blog, I loved them all!
    I didn’t go this year! :0( my knickers look like apple catches on the line, so my boys tell me, gone are the days of my knickers looking like dental floss.

    I would love the chicken house and the pizza oven!

    pps. not sure about the condition 'crochlexia' - could be possible though honestly it has taken me over a year to learn the one pattern now I daren't try anything else for fear of 'crochet confusion' - now that is definitely a condition!
