I know what you mean about the Kindle. Now that I can type again it is a nuisance typing anything more than a few brief lines on the Kindle (or on my phone). I hope you had a lovely time and that we'll see your posts soon! I'll be away most of this coming week so will catch up with you soon.<br /><br />We should do (or try to) the London Eye together, I'll hold your hand! :-))))))))) Thank you. xxMillymollymandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12990749863025598526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-78134888653982699372016-06-26T00:00:36.914+02:002016-06-26T00:00:36.914+02:00Oh my goodness Mandy you are SO brave.

I hate heights too (in fact, refused point blank to go on the London Eye to celebrate OH's 50th birthday) so I can imagine just how you must have felt. Well done for facing up to the fear, especially on your own!!!, and I am so pleased you enjoyed it.<br /><br />The County Show looks a wonderful day out and such lovely floral art displays. I really like the Shepherd's Hut too!! :)<br /><br />So sorry for the late comment but we have been away in Devon for a week and, although I spent some time on my Kindle on Twitter, I didn't really visit blogs as I got so fed up with trying to type on that silly keyboard let alone the annoying predictive text!!

I have done Chelsea Flower Show in less than 4 hours, but I got there really early and it was on member's day so less busy than general public days.

No wonder you feel chuffed. I went to the Devon County Show once - well over 30 years ago when I lived in Devon. I remember the rain most of all! I think now if I went I'd head straight for the bee tent. But I love the shepherd's Hut. It does conjure up a romantic lifestyle!Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02792703802542843791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4547505703081839636.post-1929770008786421142016-06-18T13:53:31.049+02:002016-06-18T13:53:31.049+02:00No real ale tent....

Always like that these days you can get a good coffee and cake.<br />xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05606785084693145234noreply@blogger.com
