| We looked around for Lynda. We didn't see her, but we observed the crowd a little. We like people watching! There were actually a lot of what I call the "Chelsea Show Type". They talk very posh and wear non-machine-washable clothes. I suppose that means they can both afford dry cleaning bills and actually like wool and such like against the skin?
 I liked the next one because of its message, though the pic doesn't portray it too well.
It is the World Life Garden for "Help the Aged", a UK charity that assists the elderly in many ways. The focus is on low maintenance gardening. Lots of resting places, plants that can be tended without too much bending, no lawns to mow. Saucers under those pots would help to cut down the number of watering sessions though! |
This is "Hope Springs Eternal" and so it does, as Manchester United have taught us so well. You can probably guess my opinions of this by now! I did, however, think that the little river running down the middle might be excellent for playing "Pooh Sticks"!
On the right hand side of this garden was a plant - a shrub about 5 foot high - no label, anyone know what it is? Someone said it might be a handkerchief tree, but I don't know. They weren't "real" flowers in the normal sense though. Spot the blue sky STILL peeping through the leaves!
To our last(ish) garden exhibit -
"A reclaimed garden". No muddy feet when the ground's wet when one needs to hang out the washing, but no washing line either. Pretty though!
