    I visited Sandringham flower show again ,an extremely unique event.
    It’s like an old fashion village fete but with 20,000 visitors.
    I can’t believe how lovely the weather was too.
    There are a few show gardens ,hundreds of plant stalls ,fruit and veg competitions and baking .
    There is a large arena where there is falconry ,motor cycle tricks ,parachute show ,dog show plus the usual pipe band.
    There is also a chance for everyone to see the King and Queen in close proximity if you want to.
    Chris Beardshaw was doing a gardening q and a. he really is a great speaker ,Nick Hamilton (Geoff’s son) also contributed.

    Hear are a few pics. Of the day.

        Sounds like a great day out, lucky with the weather roders, we went to Hampton Court Flower Show a couple of weeks ago and it rained and rained.

          Interesting Pete the motorcyclists were kids aged between 5 and 16 it was quite funny as some fell off and couldn’t pick the bike up on their own , great fun though.
