Elvis Costello was right. I don't want to go to Chelsea. Ok, I am not sure if he was talking about the flower show, but surely the idea of stumbling around some doubtless beautiful gardens hemmed in on all sides by desperately overexcited fellow gardening enthusiasts while realising just how rubbish all my attempts at horticulture have been just doesn't appeal.
And I don't have tickets.
And it's not all that fantastic. Well at least that was my impression from visiting ten years ago. Our Seattle Garden show -- albeit inside a hall -- seemed to come off pretty well in comparison.
