Hampton Court Palace Flower Festival
The setting is stunning with the palace in the background, with its own beautiful landscaped gardens with pools and water fountains. The floral displays and set gardens are delightful and the day we went was gloriously sunny and with the heady perfume from the roses and other flowers was intoxicating. Helping wildlife and reducing plastic waste, was a definite theme this year, with a number of the exhibitor’s using this in their displays and garden designers including a bee hive, bird boxes and insect houses within the gardens.
Having walked for hours around the show it was a delightful end of the day to travel the short distance by boat back to Hampton Court train station and the rest of the journey homeward.
A great day out,
Linda

Cartagena
Snap decision one Thursday to drive to see Cartagena in Murcia which is south eastern Spain. As ever sat nav utterly accurate – 4 hours to do 405km. Great drive around Granada and up into the wooded hills on very quiet roads. Scenery changes and the Land and hills become very dry with little vegetation. Murcia is a very dry part of Spain.
