Hampton Court Flower Show
George's verdict from last year ["it wasn't as bad as I expected"] meant he was keen enough to take another trip this year. It did mean we spent more time looking at lawn mowers than I might have done otherwise, but overall was quite fun. I bought rather a lot of lavenders.
The gardens were lovely and of course these seaside gardens were the ones that I loved the most.
This is By the Sea designed by James Callicott; inspired by the coastline of Southend-on-Sea:
... and Fun on Sea:
Both of these gardens were built by young offenders from Southend who are trying to get back on their feet. Aren't they perfectly lovely?
