Newbury 2

What a great day out,you both had..and some lovely plants and ornaments there..you will find room for them,I'm sure...what is that limey green spiky one..4th pic from the bottom,please ? I like that..and the Mushrooms are a real statement..Two very happy Goyers,by the sounds of it..:o)

Ho ho Willi, very nice blog. Not sure about some of those sneaky photos you took of me though. Have you got the water feature up and running yet?

Lots of nice things there :o) I'm sure you'll find room for them ... Glad you had a nice day.

Pleased you had such a great time. Nice blog.

Bloomer it just says its a Sedum (help Poppylover what is it?) Lol. Glad you like it. Couldnt resist the mushrooms, they look lovely with the water running over them.
Not done water feature yet PL, been too busy again today getting the house straight, now I've got it back to myself.
Thanks Hywel & Cinders, we had great weather too :-)

glad you had fun!!! i love those leapfrogging leprechauns!

might be going to malvern ~ not sure which day ~ have you decided?

I loved them too Sticki, just need a couple of acres of garden to have room for them!
We're going on the Friday. Thursday was expensive & the weekend will be too busy.

i agree!! thursday may be ok for me too but i have to go to work first!!!

might see you there ~ will let you know!

i think stroller might be going too and Bornagain??

how much and how big were those leprechauns?

i like that green bowl too.

We're going Friday Sticki, Lol.
It would be nice to see everyone :-)

They stood about a metre or so tall, full size leprechauns!
I loved the bowls, I got one for my sister too, a bluey colour hers is. Mine is about 50cm across, made of terracotta underneath so they are for the garden. It was only £15, Bargin!

The leprechauns were around £150 I think.

Oh dear! I won't be having one of those then!

I haven't got my tickets yet! Can you get them on the door?

love the photos - PoppyL you look very pleased with your coffee :))))))))) great buys - those daisies I have too :)))))))))))))))) like the big frog too with the deers :D

I also like the wooden ducks, great cnhoice of plants , is the dark one ajuga ? Great Sempervivums too and mushrooms :)))))))))))))))))

Willi, trying to find out what day Bornagain is going I think it may be Saturday. It would be lovely if we could all meet up.
Looks as if you had a great time at Newbury and ended with empty pockets.lol.

Do you work at B&Q ? those baskets look very familiar !!

Sticki I have been looking on their website & it only has a price for booked tickets, so I dont know if you can pay on the gate.

Stroller we have pre booked our tickets for the Friday.

Thanks paul, we had a great time buying it all :-)
Im not sure what that plant is, just liked it!

SqFt I'll have you know they are the latest in high fashion! Lol.

thanks willinilli, i might phone to check???

whats malvern like if its raining ~ apart from muddy???

WET! Lol. I have not been to the garden show before but I used to go to the dog shows there & if it was raining we showed in marques. The ground was never too bad though.

best to wear boots i think!!!

Glad you had a good day out..
love those houseleeks :o)

Willi, you can pay at the gate £21. per person, parking is free outside but if you want to park in the centre its £11.

Looks like a good day out was had by all - Malvern Spring Show is excellent and we shall go rain or shine

Thanks Stroller, Parking close is sometimes a good option but parking further away may stop me & PoppyLover buying so much! Lol.
Had a great day Marigold, can't wait for Malvern.

Willi love all your purchases there and I adore those ducks, 'I want some'!!! I am going to Chelsea this year so maybe I will see something nice there to buy (at a price!). Glad you had a great day.

national trust and some GCs have those ducks GM

Thanks Grandmage.
The ducks were on a few stands but I only payed £5 for the big one & £3 for the small one, Bargin.
Dont buy them at Chelsea unless they lay Gold Eggs!!

I wont Lol!!! £5 what an incredible bargain. Lucky you. Could I get some online do you think?

I dont know, have alook on ebay.
If I see any that cheap at Malvern I can pick you some up.

thats an incredibly good price.

How kind, dont worry I will search the net. and see whats there, I really wanted some wooden chickens and I keep looking but I also like your ducks too!!

Hi Willinilli - I'm a bit behind with the times have just found this blog from you! Glad you both had a really good time. Have you planted up all your recent buys??!

Hi Tracey, yes all in, I redone my trough with the alpines & I am making a semp blanket to hopefully go on the shed roof.
All the other stuff has not been placed yet, apart from the mushroom water feature. My sister keeps trying to nick the bamboo candles off me.

Hey that's not on is it? Tell her to buy her own Bamboo candles! But there again it shows you've got good taste!

They would look lovely on her decking so they may well end up there :-s

Perhaps an early Birthday gift?
