CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW 2008 - Day 3

Don’t know whether I’m actually going to survive this. Last three days, from 6.30 in the morning ‘til eight or nine o’clock at night. But we’re getting some wonderful publicity and a chance to recruit hundreds of new members.

We were even invited to have lunch with The Great and The Good of the RHS – so perhaps they’re not too cross with us after all.

First bit of warm sunshine as well, which makes all the herbs in the garden – thyme, rosemary, lavender and mint - give off great wafts of intoxicating perfume.

Everybody says it reminds them of their holidays!

We can hardly keep up with the demand for our bags and leaflets – lovely coming home this evening watching a stream of SPANA bags heading for the Tube.
