Now, what about Chris Beardshaw then? He was quite overcome with emotion wasn't he...but that garden is stunning...I love rhody's and to hang with 'fashion'! :)) Cleve West is a genius though...loved his garden last year and this one is just as inspiring. So glad that Joe Swift got gold too...loved the warmth of his design.

I went to Chelsea last year and the year before and just loved it, both times. But, it's an extremely exhausting day out and I can still watch it and enjoy it on telly without the trek to get down there.

Yes, me too, but when I see it on the t.v. I always wish I was there. However, when I see the view of the crowd from Alan T's seat up high, I am actually glad I'm not there! :))
