decided to go to tatton on sat. it was a lovely day , and as we haven’t been away this year, i thought it would justify the astronomical of £28 each to get in !! no o.a.p. or student reduction , but in spite of this ………… it was very busy !!
i only got 2 plants , and a few nik naks for the garden , so here are my fav things that i saw , hope you like them tooo …………….
enjoy !!!

this pic is all fountains

this was young designer of the year ………..

this was called the secret garden

wonder wot this wud look like in my jungle lol .

love this pond

a proper country cottage and garden

the background is a painting

wish my cottage looked like this

the end of the day ………. a rest and a last drink before we go !!

these pics are taken on the way out of the park ……….so lovely

the views are are gawjuss

well thats it , there were a few more pictures , but i liked these the best , hope you did too ………….. chris x

stay on site sheila ~ we waited ages in the traffic to be able to park there! the roads round it are not built for a big show!! i went a few years ago and it was a nightmare ~ i hope they have improved it.

5 Aug, 2011

 

Really? We can stay on site?? Sounds like a good tip, Sticki, thanks.

5 Aug, 2011

 

sorry sheila i very much doubt it but be prepared for long traffic jams or go early!!!

5 Aug, 2011

 

we go to tatton every year and really enjoy it. It is a bit expensive, but what isn't nowadays. We always go on the Thursday. It isn't too busy and the traffic is never too bad. I wouldn't dream of going there on the weekend.

5 Aug, 2011

 

thats worth knowing, thanks ian

5 Aug, 2011

 

the traffic was great this year , in and out !! no queuing at all . its not policed this year , but a specialized company did it ................ they had a one way system in place . very organized .they did the same at cheshire show , u were in in less than 10 mins , the police are you useless at traffic control !! i wouldn't worry wot day u went ............ busy every day .
loads space to park as well ............ and no prob getting out as u can see from the last pics !
in tatton they rent holiday homes which i imagine wud be lovely . so now you know .......... off you go ...... lol ;0)))

6 Aug, 2011

11 Aug, 2011
