    Chelsea is a must to visit if you've never been. They sell too many tickets now so it gets too crowded for my liking, when they introduced two queues, fast and slow, for the show gardens I haven't been back. The last day when the show gardens are dismantled there are good bargains to be had.

    We go to Hampton Court flower show instead, a bigger site with more understandable gardens.

        Very wet night. Still raining now!

        Feels like we are stuck in a Groundhog Day loop! :th scifD36:

                Good steady rain all morning, forecast to stop this afternoon, brighten up about teatime and then dry (and warmer) tomorrow.

                      It's fined up now so I went out to have a look at the garden (all sparkly and fresh after the rain, and the lawn feed that I put down yesterday has washed in nicely, isn't it satisfying when things go according to plan?). I checked the gauge and we had more rain than I thought this morning - a whopping 21.5 mm!

                        Brilliant sunshine now and warming up a bit, it needs to, struggling to get to 10c all morning, 13c and rising.

                              I haven’t been to any flower show in all the years. Years of visiting classic car shows once a year were enough what crowds concerns :scratch:
                              It was OH’s idea. I wouldn’t have spent the money on this but never mind. Going by bus at 5, arriving at Victoria Station is good. That prevents OH from buying stuff that no-where fits into the garden and into the bus on the way home :)

                                I'm like you @simone_in_wiltshire - I've had enough of crowded places, and I can't think of anything worse than visiting Chelsea. :smile:

                                You lot are getting the kind of weather that's pretty standard here for most springs. ;)
                                Meanwhile, we're getting more of an eastern side of Scotland weather instead. First 3 weeks of April have made up for that though, and the last week has been more like May weather for us :smile:
