No Business Like Show Buisiness

A very appropriate display given the weather!

My sister Fran and I braved the elements for the flower show yesterday and despite the weather we had a grand day out. It probably couldn't have been any wetter if it tried and I recommend anyone going along to wear wellies and go on public transport if at all possible, as the car park is dreadful after only one day. It is a distinct possibility that the tractors on hand to pull out stranded vehicles will be much in demand. However peoples spirits were high and when the band struck up Singing in the Rain everyone smiled and a few brave souls even had a dance! I'm well pleased with my purchases of a pair of back door shoes decorated with tomatoes, crofters cradle plant supports and a reasonable pair of loppers for only £16, they must be worth a try when the Felco ones cost £90+ and I only need them for occasional use. So folks, don't let the weather put you off, go and support our horticulture industry and enjoy splashing in a few puddles whilst you're there!
