Moving swiftly on

Well it's been ages since my last post, so I thought I'd fill you in on what I've been doing. Now, where was I? Ah yes, just about to head off to Hampton Court to try and water my wilting garden design seedling.

We had a great day out. I really like the Hampton Court Show, it's so much nicer than Chelsea - more relaxed, more room, generally a nicer atmosphere I think. My Mum and I met up with Claire and Phil, and during the course of the day also met Raina, Dan and Martin. I took loads of pictures, and here are a few:



This was Rik's garden - beautiful planting and I loved the silver ball thingy! I loved it!



Here's one of the Hadlow College garden - Kent CaCO3, designed by Fern and Heidi. It's not a very good picture, and doesn't do the garden justice. Apparently Joe Swift thought it was fantastic!



1001 things to do with root vegetables.




Can't remember which one this was, but liked the picture. I think it was the outside kitchen. I really liked that idea. I've been doing a lot of barbecuing because it's so hot and I'm getting fed up with trekking backwards and forwards to the kitchen, because you know that just when you sit down you've forgotten the salt and pepper, or the knives, or something like that, and actually having the kitchen outside makes a lot of sense if this whole global warming climate change is really here to stay.


The image uploader seems to have gone on strike so I can't add anymore. I'll try again tomorrow. There'll be another exciting instalment on Hampton Court - I went back on the Monday after the show to help Fern and Heidi dismantle the garden. I thought that, apart from being a helpful sort of a thing to do, it would be really interesting to see the behind the scenes stuff after the show was over. I'll tell you all about it next time!
