    Used to live round the corner from Tatton Park. Used to take the wife and daughter to the RHS show every year. Drop them off and pick them up. I didn't use the main gate though. I knew the farmer down the road so I used to drive in through his place. Also used to know most of the people that work there all year....so it wasn't a problem. heh,heh.:thumb:

    It's overpriced, creates horrendous traffic jams around Knutsford and would be better situated at Oulton Park....disgruntled ex resident of Bucklow Hill.:D

    Hope the weather holds out for you hm although there's plenty of covers on the floor so mud shouldn't be a problem this year.

    That's spectacular, walnut. That first photograph of the Disa orchids is a real picture and I love the blend of colours. And the Lily kushi maya is wonderful.

    The copper and glass water cascades are unique.

    Thank you so much for my Bonsai ... they are to die for. xx

    Thank you for sharing your pictures with those of us who are that LITTLE BIT too far away to attend. :thumb:

    There were no problems with mud - it was absolutely scorching! Not a bad day out, I thought.
