I'll have a look at all the stuff I brought back yesterday. I may well
have
picked up the plan of plants as it was one of the less ghastly gardens.


Thank you


We (friend plus myself plus my Dad) found a sad lack of colour and decent
plants in all the gardens. With the huge range of glorious things to
choose
from in the marquee, the outside gardens were nearly all green things with
glass, concrete and, well, grass. Lots of grass, and the occasional
wildflower, ie the things we spend half our days weeding out.
Bring back the Christopher Lloyd borders!!!!

Still liked the Yorkshire one best, though. Most of them didn't transfer
well to the small screen, and the one that they portrayed as having a guy
with a grudge on (Tuesday night's programme) was really nice!

As a native yorkshire man I should get back to my roots, however it's
cheaper to get stone from sunny wales now.


Still, took 102 photos, bought some really amazing hand cream

you got sore hands taking pictures
