Your posting gave me a good 'feel' for this year's event, Alison. I look forward to seeing the rest of your photos. I hope I can attend some time.

Stood a long time looking at the reaching out sculpture. Nearly cried. And then the poppies. Such a sight. A Chelsea that seemed different from the others in the past.karen gimsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02979388211146202244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574800003825292845.post-56812532204180410322016-05-29T19:03:49.731+01:002016-05-29T19:03:49.731+01:00Your feelings and thoughts mirrored mine.

I loved the garden next to Cleve's, the Husquevana garden - not featured much on the TV but lovely in reality. Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03104140914581346288noreply@blogger.com
