No i'm not going though I keep meaning too! Want to see if those blue foxgloves I keep seeing on the show actually are blue or my eyes are playing tricks on me!
Shame you won't be wearing a WAB badge, should the TV cameras zoom on you we could all wave from our sofas!

Those Foxgloves really are Blue,if i see a camera pointing in my direction i will give it a wave.

24th is the Saturday! Is that the day when Chelsea is open to trade? Your bound to be returning home with lots for the garden?!? Maybe some blue Digitalis (not fair I want some). Hope the weather is on your side, have yourself a really good time!

p.s Do you know what gardens are showing this year?

I was once invited to Chelsea back in 2004 as a guest to the Salvation Army's Show garden. The reason being that The Salvation Army's Family Tracing Service had found my Father of whom I had not seen for 35 yrs, since I was 2.
Turned out we had both been working as gardeners and interested in design.
It was a great day as my Father and I wondered around , and even did some live radio from the garden, it was called from Dark to Light.
The bonus was it won the prize for the public vote which I watched from home.
Not going this year sadly, will miss the scent of the amazing sweet peas.

Hope you have a great time
