Flower show

Today we went to the RHS show in Cardiff's Bute Park. It was very nice day out, with plenty of colour and huge amounts to look at. We took a nieghbour of Denise, Brenda, who is 88 years old. She maybe getting on in years, but she can still walk around well! Better than me I think. My back was aching after a couple of hours, but she seemed to be fine! 

Plenty of photos taken of course and you can see just a few of them here, or on my Facebook link or on my Flickr link here

As can be expected, the prices for food were above board, but that is always the case in these places were they have you trapped. For instance £3 for a small latte and £2.50 for a tea. It cost £8 to park the bloody car nearby. Not the fault of the RHS, but it was for a cancer charity, so you don't mind quite so much.

We managed to go around until about one o'clock, and my that time, I at least needed to sit down and have some food. More the sit down than the food! Fish and chips was the order of the day, and very nice it was as well. Fighting for a seat was the main problem, but we did manage to get one eventually.

After dinner we wandered around the bits we had not seen, and the shops etc. I bought some cheeses from one of the stalls with some unusual flavours. Now I have to get some cheese biscuits to go with them! 

The show gardens were splendid but there were only a few of them. They do cost a fortune in money and time to put together I guess, and perhaps Cardiff is not one of the biggest like Chelsea. 

And now for a few photos, I hope you like them.









Make of the last one what you will!
