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!
