    These first ones are of Henry at the bee exhibit. The hand printed picture is going to be used as advertising for next years show!

    A. Cracking day out. Weather was fab, it was surprisingly reasonably priced in the show itself, not too busy considering it was the final day, and I got some bargains. Henry and the mrs weren't bored, in fact the opposite!

          it was the cleanest lined garden and very neat but for kiddies it was the most impractical! Very minimalistic and calming though!

                Excellent pics. Looks like you had a good day.

                I especially like this photo:

                I'm just thinking how much of this idea I can actually steal and implement in my garden.

                      I'm not quite certain which I'm more gobsmacked about ... the pictures ... or the fact you have managed to put 18 into ONE post!? (Us mere mortals are only able to upload 5/6 at a time :scratch: ) I'm putting it down to the Humphrey effect: big, bigger, biggest!

                        Fantastic show, great pics Al.
                        We went a couple of years after the Liverpool Garden Festival, remember that??

                          Thanks strongy!

                          I do remember that! It's re-opened now too! I've not been yet, but it's been totally revamped.

                          Thanks "M", Photo bucket!

                          The camera used was mrs Al's Panasonic tz1. Great little camera. Considering photo bucket compresses the pics and are not the full res they look very good!
