    I am sooo excited, we have our tickets to go to Hampton Court Palace flower show. I have never been before so I am really looking forward to it. :yho:

    We have booked a hotel to make more of a trip out of it. Even hubby is looking forward to it :luv::luv::luv:

    Has anyone been before- do you have any tips for us? We will be using the park and ride by the way.

    I'm going with a friend on the Friday. Really looking forward to it, as I haven't been before either...and as I'm designing a new border, I'll be looking for ideas :)

    Hope you get some ideas there. I'm really looking forward to seeing the different gardens.
    We are going on Friday too and sleeping Friday night as it would be a long drive back here after a tiring day!
    Will have to compare notes when we get back :)

    Oh and remember the camera :hehe:

    We went last year and really enjoyed it. The Park & Ride bus dropped us off at Hampton Court station, then there is a bit of a walk along the Thames to the entrance, if you want to avoid the walk and arrive in style then take the river boat. Try and get there as early as possible and go straight to the show gardens as its less crowded first thing. After visiting the show gardens just take your time and enjoy yourselves!
