Hampton court flower show.

On Sunday we went to the last day of Hampton Court flower show, it was a lot busier then it looks on tv!


It was also very big I don't think we saw anywhere near all off it, the show gardens were lovely, there was a clever one with periscopes and mushrooms which Albert enjoyed at the end of the day as they were picking all the mushrooms to sell to eat. There was a sort if frenzied atmosphere though as it was the last day. We managed to look round the floral marquee while Albert and Rowan were doing this:


There were some great displays of alot of plants I know nothing about but it doesn't mean I
haven't started a list for the garden next year. I think we will have some of these


And Adam is a big fan of these


There was a good little children's area with lots of Alice in wonderland scarecrows which I thought were a bit scary, they also had a very tall mad hatter who tries to shake Albert's hand although he wasn't sure, a tall rabbit man who he quite liked and a queen of hearts who he kept shouting Polly at, as in Aunt Polly from Mr. Tumble. He also really enjoyed the House of Fairy Tales tent which had a spinning story telling swing thing and lots of chalk boards, they are also going to be at Camp Bestival so we will be able to hang out there most of the weekend.



Having the double pushchairs was also handy late in the day as Rowan came out for a look around and we loaded it with Nana and Pop's plants and all our bags.


Although it has to be said Albert's absolutely most favourite thing of the day was the ferry rides and double decker bus trips to and from the show they were very exciting!
