Malvern Three Counties RHS Show

I am posting this as we head home from the Malvern RHS Show. It has been a very-much-needed mega-chilled weekend and I am going home with a new plants and interesting yard art.

I loved this scene from a Japanese garden design featured in the show:

And whilst I didn't buy any from the show, I will be disappointment of this tulip variety is not growing the garden.

We found good Old Rosie in her usual spot in the show and after we both savoured her delights we continued our persulal of the gardening trade stands:

I have been wanting a set of these for years, and finally the price was right - x3 for £22.50;

And, finally, my garden buddha has been over grown by ivy, so it is time to give him a new spot in the garden. Just after telling Mrs. Pixie-Led that I was looking for a new plant to frame the Buddha statue, we turned a corner and, hey presto, not one but two Buddha display's presented themselves with the same plant:

The coincidencw sealed the deal and our Buddha will soon have a beautiful new place to spread his peaceful vibes and a lovely colourful plant as a backdrop 😎

It was a long, hot, but happy day, but, soon enough, it was time to head home.

All Ours 4 the Night

The Unicorn and The Inklings

 Sank a pint in Malvern's The Unicorn pub, where the Inkling meetings were held and T.S. Elliot and J.R.R. Tolkien often discussed their future works, which were to become classics:

We are in Malvern for the RHS show tomorrow but this was pub was a must. Malvern still has the gas powered street lamps that inspired Elliot to write The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. The topiary snail was cool too lol:

A Wrong 'un

 This wildtype miscreant is another of our neighbour's cats. You only have to make eye contact with her for her to scatter as though demons from hell were about to attack lol. Her name is Goldie:

She knows and I know she was up to no good when I spotted her through the kichen window. She was hiding out amongst these flowers, eyeing up the baby sparrows that are frequenting our garden:
