One of my birthday presents this year was a trip to

Hampton Court Palace Flower Show!

It was very busy, but a lot of fun, my parents and my sisters family came with me. I found there to be a lot of inspiration for future crafty projects as well as garden ideas. I took lots of pictures of the plants I want to have and got some great design ideas. I just need a garden! 

It was a great day out and I would recommend it to everyone. Though it might have been a bit less hectic if we hadn't had gone on the last day, it gets a bit manic in the last half hour when things get reduced. Also the trolleys people have to carry there purchases around are a great idea, we found it easier to carry the children and use the double buggy as our trolley. 

I didn't buy anything despite wanting pretty much everything, I have a lot of plants in my flat, I have a collection of Orchids, a small collection of Cacti and some random pretty house plants and herbs. They are all very much loved but there increasing size along with my philosophy that there's always room for more, means that there is currently a battle going on between my books and plants over space. Considering I am seriously thinking of getting ride of my futon to make space for a loom I am unsure how to proceed! 

humm I guess there is always room for more!
