The Chelsea flower show

I survived!!!! 8 hours of the Chelsea flower show.





The flower show was amazing..... and for a guy that's not into flowers that's saying a lot. The main pavilion took about two and a half hours to visit with the displays like you see here everywhere.







The grounds consist of 11 acres on the grounds of the royal veterans hospital. For most of the year it's a soccer field but is transformed for the flower show each year. The crowds in the afternoon were almost unbearable but we saw a lot in the morning before it got too busy. It's well worth the effort to see it.







As usual Flat Ella came along. I'm glad she didn't need a ticket as it was $75 just to get in. She was most impressed with the colors and variety of flowers she saw. This was one of her favorites.





Tomorrow we just bum around London town and then it's home again. I'll do one more post tomorrow night to finish the trip. Till then......time for a pint!
