CRAFT FAIR AT HYTHE, KENT UK

CRAFT FAIR AT HYTHE, KENT UK

During May, I went with Kara to a craft fair in Hythe on the high street, where she sold a lot of the cakes she makes under Everlasting Events by Kara There was a great selection of stalls, and it proved to be a very popular day. The things some people make are amazing; they really are very talented. I liked the name tags for your vegetables that you grow, as the plastic ones end up with very faded writing that you cannot read. It was a very good day for all the stallholders. I have attached the details of…

When I opened another container, the spreading was much slower, as some of the holes were blocked up with the solution. This made it spread over a much bigger area, which was also much more economical, as one of these containers cost £30 in…

CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW & MY GARDEN

CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW & MY GARDEN

I love the Chelsea Flower Show, which is held every year in London. I have been once; it is a super day out with so much to see. It always spurs me on to get my own garden ready for the summer. This year I wanted to create a bit of a Zen garden after seeing some ideas in Spain. We had a fantastic heat wave here last week, so I was in the garden every day… that’s why no blog posts were written! I opened up the small summer house and sorted all the painting equipment out, as I…
