We were there yesterday and was really impressed with the show this year (much better than Chelsea in my opinion, mostly because you can't flippin buy plants at Chelsea!)
Look forward to seeing your pics Mrs C. I didn't take as many as I usually do and they were mostly boring reference pics.
There is a war going on for your mind. If you are thinking you are winning.
I took this photo at Tatton show in 2005 just as I started with my allotment. I nearly gave up!! (One woman asked me if the veg were actually real or plastic!!)

Well they don't LOOK real, do they?
Flowers come in too many colours to see the world in black-and-white.
We went yesterday too & had a great time apart from the odd heavy shower.Very hot, cooled down with a nice Pimms & lemonade. I looked at all the children's containers MrsC & was very impressed, what's the name of your school, I took photos of most of them. Bought a couple of plants, a heuchera & a penstemon. Try the preserves outside the Harvey Nichols stand, Clippy's, made by a lady in Cheshire, the apple, redcurrant & chilli one is lovely, bought a jar, nice with cream cheese & rocket on a bagel or crusty roll.

Had a fabulous time today! I've never been to a show like Tatton before. It was fab seeing Andrea again. Bought a couple of plants - Allotment Lady is now the proud owner of a piglet called Percy. Saw MrsCs display - fantastic! Well done children. Knackered now - bath and bed methinks!
