A cold grey start - now a warmer, brighter afternoon - what a difference a few rays of sun make. They really lift the colours in the Pavilion and suddenly even those dark corners start to look good. Paul is here fixing up the lighting - our insurance policy agaist dull weather during the show an that ittle extra magic that really brings the exhibit to life in the evenings - especially on Gala Night.
Another three lorry loads of plants arrived this morning - soon unloaded and now the team is settling down to some serious staging in their respective areas. Gary is painting walls in First Base. Pip is scowling at the red rhododendrons I put in Surviving Suburbia. Stu has been edging and is now arranging his peanuts - stepping stone sculptures in Coping with Kids. Rick is just about keeping his head above water in a sea of lilac and gold rhododendrons. Sue is arranging her climbers around the arbour in Losing the Plot. So far everyo
ne is giving Pushing up the Daisies a
wide berth.
The amazing thing about Chelsea is how quickly one becomes completely enveloped by this little world. Yesterday evening I went to the launch party at the Jo Malone store - lovely hand massage and plenty of pink drinks - what did we talk about? - Chelsea of course. The real world has now completely slipped into oblivion - I don't even know or care who was knocked out of the apprentice last night. I don't know what any MP has spent on his garden in the past few days - It no longer concerns me because I live on Planet
Chelsea!
