Thee Internet is a wondrous thing. We only hope that space people one day get very confused by our documentary evidence of who did what.

Lovely to see our previously blogged RHS Chelsea Centenary flag working hard at the show this week :)

Lovely minute or so from Phillip Johnson, the designer behind Chelsea’s Best In Show Trailfinders garden. How proud are his folks this week?

Underground maps have been a bit done-to-death since that bloke that did the underground map did his thing, but this one’s a nice take.
For, erm, trainspotters of a certain persuasion.

Who’d’ve thunk it? Gnomes at Chelsea, whuddevvanext?!!

Elton’s is the undisputed star, what with the trademark glasses – but we liked Dick n Dom’s. Proper nightmares for children, and the horticultural great and good alike!

And of course, all for a great cause – the RHS Chelsea Centenary Appeal.

How fab is this? The full kaboodle can be found here.

We got the train from Yatton once. It was nowhere near as good as this. 

Lots of RHS Chelsea Flower Show this week.

Our Preview Day highlights: Joanna Lumley, the Trailfinders Aussie garden, and in a similar vein to the previously posted Smiths/Chelsea connection, some Mod action!

Oh, and the gnomes of course. More of them later.

Woo-hoo! Our Chelsea tickets arrived today, in our ticket wallet (replete with splendid embossing by the lovely folk at Orion, with whom we made them Brixton Pounds).

Liam Gallagher might be able to blag a freebie to Chelsea – but he can’t blag one of these fellas from the main marquee a couple of years ago.
Proper Manc royalty recognised there.

Next week is Chelsea week – 2013 seeing the centenary of the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. We’re splendidly chuffed to’ve been asked to produce the ident for this year’s show – and thought we’d dig out some behind-the-scenes snaps from the Chelsea 100 Flag shoot.

The RHS have just published a report on the skills gap in UK horticulture. Nice to see it being picked up in the proper press…

Splendid as this is we’re not sure we can bear the thought of these catching on with the hiperatti of SW9 & E8!
