Well, I was one of the people who arrived at Hampton Court yesterday
lunchtime and got booted out at 3pm.

I think I shall try again on Saturday!


& you got a bit mucky I reckon. We (4 of us) certainly did. Mucky shoes, and
almost up to our knees with muddy-spray
Nevertheless, a lovely visit.
The gardens had stood up very well to the weather. But I can't say I'm
surprised. I had seen the coverage of previous shows when occasionally just
such weather intervened on the creation and yet, on the show dates the
gardens were fine.
Those ferry guys did well with the showers.
I note not a lot of grumbling about the BBC coverage. Does that mean they've
done something right? (-;
