Sunny day out. RHS flower show

Image
This post is mainly picture. ... we were at the flower show in Bute Park in Cardiff. Here is what we saw and enjoyed looking at.                   The RHS makes a lovely day out. Weather was glorious, flowers were fragrant, what more can you wish on your weekend in April.  They also have good few kiddie activities. We're we're even newly hatched chicks for little ones to look at, story time... If you think they only have flowers and garden stuff you are mistaken, there is also a food quarter and bunch of craft stalls. We will be going again next year! Will you? 

Flower Show

Looking at flowers and wondering around is the best way to spend a day really.  My mother in law, Egg and I went to RHS Flower Show in Cardiff last weekend. Frankly we didn't know what to expect, 1st time for us, but we really enjoyed it. Edgar slept for the most of it:)  All the beautiful flowers and plants. They even had a special breed of daffodils called Doctor Who! How cute is that!  We were clearly amateurs since we didn't have a little wheely box everyone seem to  drag around full of plants!  Don't think we expected to see such a big crowd! The place was heaving with people some strolling some rushing around.  They also had a crafty market and a small food market. Some sellers were pushier than others, looking at you Toffee vodka dude, others were really happy to answers all the questions, Yvonne now knows the difference between pierogi and pasty!  The show even had some stands for kiddies and a small ch...

Sunny day out

Don't you just love this gorgeous sunshine we have this week! So wonderful! Me and little man spend so little time at home, always in the park or meeting friend or just waking around enjoying vitamin D. Well me more then him. We caught up with Rhian. Went for afternoon tea at Pettirgrew Tearoom  to start with. And what a lovely, they even offer scones with fruit or without.                           Gorgeous home-made cakes, beautiful sandwiches and the cutest vintage china... Just so good... and in the sun in the Bute Park. I love this about Cardiff, you get this nature on your doorstep and in the city centre. Also so some sort of bird muching a fish out of the river... and yes once again in the city centre. Also check out these beautiful photos Rhian took of little man and me....  I love the sunshine!! 

Stephen's happy place

I came home from work one day, it was just gone 11pm to find my other half still pottering around in the garden! Madness right? I work out to unwind, gosh how I miss running! and Steve he gardens.  Our current garden is more manageable and has more sun, which is amazing for me, since I adore the sun and the warms but not so great for his pale Welsh complexion. We have some sun screen stashed in the shed!:) From the garden to the stove... In his awesome garden hat:) He works tirelessly on his garden, yeah, it's his garden.... We have flowers, some grown from bulbs, "shake'n'rake" boxes and some ready bought. I couldn't really help out  much since every time I crouch down to dig or plant I would be tilting forward since my belly is so big now. We also have a veg patch...  I never grew anything before neither did he, so it is more and more impressive that we have tons of veggies sprouting. He even put up a cold frame, green...
