Chelsea Flower Show – London in Bloom
Trip Over to London
It was a magnificent sunny, warm day for my visit to the Chelsea Flower Show in London. I couldnโt have planned it any better, especially as it was booked so far in advance. The Show is held over five days in May every year. I believe they are now planning on holding the show over six days to allow more people to visit, but less people on each day.
Getting there was a simple ride on the Tube to Sloane Square on the District or Circle Line. Then on exiting the station there are volunteers to answer any questions you have, and maps are on display to show you the short walk to the grounds of the Royal Chelsea Hospital, where the magnificent floral exhibition that is the Chelsea Flower Show takes over. Or, if you follow the crowd, you will get there very easily. As soon as you enter you will be surrounded by the colour and vibrancy of everything from the flowers, to the garden ornaments and sculptures, not to mention the exhibitors.
Pick a direction to head off and begin exploring. Wind your way around the outdoor sections, into the Great Pavilion when you need a break from the sun, just make sure you donโt miss a thing. Every little bit is worth seeing.
I am not a gardener, completely bereft of green thumbs! It was amazing to see all the displays, the flowers are all absolutely beautiful. The sculptures and outdoor ornaments are stunning, and there are stalls selling garden related things. I did buy a beautiful crushable, packable sun hat, and a raincoat, knowing the weather could change any day, which of course it did!
At Chelsea Flower Show time of year the whole of London seems to come to life with flowers, particularly on Sloane St and Kings Rd. But all over London, shops, hotels, restaurants and private homes all get involved in their own floral displays, so it is certainly worth walking all over London to see what you can find. Often you see crowds gathered admiring an amazing display they have come across in the streets.
There are a number of bars and eateries at the Chelsea Flower Show, and I noticed that Pimmโs is the drink of choice, so I joined in on that ritual while I had a very light lunch as I had pre-booked afternoon tea at the Drawing Room as a special treat. It was lovely drinking Champagne, eating beautiful tasty morsels and listening to harp music – a nice bunch of flowers on the glass table next to the harp player wouldnโt have gone astray! One for the Suggestion Box maybe? I followed up with a nice cup of tea before continuing to explore the exhibits. I also found that even with a booking at the Drawing Room there are no bathroom privileges, pick your timing, the global problem of queues for the Ladies exists here too!
After visiting the Chelsea Flower Show, if only I had a gardenโฆโฆโฆ.so inspiring!
Tickets and information are available from The Royal Horticultural Society website, where you can also become a member of the RHS. Depending on your gardening interest, there are various benefits in becoming a member, like special member only days. If you feel like treating yourself to afternoon Tea, or a Champagne Breakfast, make sure you book in to get everything on the day and time you book to go to the show. Of course, the earlier you buy your tickets, the more choices you have about the time to take tea.
While in London you might like to visit the beautiful Kew Gardens, take a walk from Camden Town along Regent’s Canal, or be part of London’s amazing history at the Tower of London or take a long walk around the East End and end up in a 800 year old pub. For a leisurely day out, catch a boat up the Thames to Hampton Court

Inside Government House in Sydney, where Princess Anne is staying this weekendโจ๏ธ not sure what you do to get to stay there, but clearly she`s doing it....and I`m not!!
Open most weekends to walk through, definitily worth it, a magnificent historic buildingoverlooking the harbour, in the Royal Botanic Gardens.

Way up at the top of the hill behind Taormina is the town of Castelmola, some interesting ruins from the middle ages, and a lovely place for lunch with amazing viewsโจ๏ธ
I spent 2 hours up there as one of the stops on the hop-on, hop-off bus trip.

After checking into my hotel, I set off exploring Syracuse. It was all blue skies and blue water as I crossed the bridge to Ortigia Island. I came across a market next to an archaeological sites, note to self - find a coffee and something to eat, then come back here โจ๏ธ
I found a lovely coffee shop in Piazza Archimede, looking over Fontana di Diana, where I had a coffee and an enormous pastry ๐ just what I needed after getting up at 4.30am to catch the ferry from Valletta to Pozzallo, then the train to Syracuse!! I was now fuelled up and ready to continue my solo adventure.....

After a bit of window shopping and a long walk through Hyde Park to Kensington Garden, it rained, it was windy, the sun tried to come out, then it got really cold. I went to the `Dress Code` exhibition at Kensington Palace, the Palace is in the middle of a major conservation project have all the sash windows replaced so the whole building is covered in scaffolding......

They built a new walkway crossing over the Mororway, it will have a roof to protect us from the sun and rain they said.
Turns out it only has a strip of roof on one side, so in the morning the shade is on the motorway below, and in the afternoon the shade is on the other side of the motorway below.
Then they cut holes in the roof, the shape of bugs (!?!), no doubt to let the sun and rain through ๐ค
In the middle of the day, the shadow from the roof with the holes in it turns into an X rated phallic display!!
Do you see that, or it it just me??๐คฃ
Should there be a Parental Guidance warning before walking on to the foot bridge???

Exploring Gozo one historic gem at a timeโon an open-top bus, naturally!
From boats rowing out of caves, to the mighty Cittadella keeping watch over Victoria.
First fortified during the Bronze Age, then rebuilt by the Knights of St John after the
Ottoman raid of 1551.
Spotted Taโ Kola Windmill, built way back in 1725. Once home to Gozoโs village miller,
now a beautifully preserved peek into rural Maltese life.
St Georgeโs Basilica, the โGolden Church,โ a baroque beauty dating back to the 17th
century, full of marble, gold leaf, and ceiling frescoes.
And letโs not forget the Gozitan streetsโstone balconies, colourful doors and centuries
of stories carved into every corner.
If you`re solo travelling like me, Gozoโs open-top bus is a brilliant way to soak up the
islandโs deep historyโno navigation stress, just sunshine, stories, and sea breeze.

โจ Wandering through Mdinaโthe Silent City where time stands still. Stone streets, honeyed walls, and the sound of horses hooves on the narrow stone streets.
Once the capital of Malta, now itโs just quietly showing off with Baroque balconies and medieval charm. ๐ฃ Come for the history, stay for the silence...
๐Mdina, Malta - I caught the #51 bus from Valletta bus terminal to get here.

The things you see just ambling around Valletta, sometimes I take the long route around to avoid more really steep and uneven steps, but this always leads to finding more things to see.

After catching the ferry from Valletta to Gozo, a scenic 45 minutes on the sparkling seas
up the north coast of Malta, the ferry arrived in Gozo`s Mgarr Harbour, from there I hopped on the bus up to Victoria โ the islandโs capital.
Once called Rabat, Victoria was renamed in 1887 to honour Queen Victoriaโs Golden
Jubilee ๐ Wandering through the narrow alleys, limestone buildings glowing in the sun,
I found friendly locals, and a few tempting bakeries tucked away behind the churches.
Gozo might be Maltaโs quieter sister, but sheโs full of character, charm, and centuries of
stories. I should have spent more time exploring here, but with only one day in Gozo,
there was a whole island to seeโฆ..might have to go back one day!!

๐ซStanding beneath one of the largest unsupported domes in the world at the Mosta
Rotunda, and wondering how on earth itโs still standing โ especially after a WWII bomb
fell through the dome and didnโt explode! ๐ฒ
This beautiful church in the heart of Malta is a must-visit โ stunning architecture, a
miraculous history, and serious ceiling goals. I first spotted it way off in the distance
when looking out from Mdina. After another bus trip from Valletta, I was here in
Mosta climbing up into the dome of this church built in the early 1800s.

The public gardens in Taormina on land that was once owned by the same lady who owned Isola Bella in the late 1800s, Lady Florence Trevelyan, a distant relation of Queen Victoria who was exiled from England for having an affair with the future King Edward Vll (why wasn`t he exiled for the same issue??) She moved to Taormina and bought Isola Bella, later marrying the Mayor of Taormina. Together they created the public gardens, which are beautifully looked after to encourage various plants and birds to live there.

The markets in Ortigia, Syracuse, Sicily - bellissimo!!!! The little boats of fried seafood were so delicious, I tried them all over Sicily, these ones were definitely the best ๐!!! All the fruit and vegetables are so fresh, and seafood straight off the boats.
Don`t make the mistake I did and think you can come back later to buy some bits and pieces, they pack up at about 2pm, hose the place down and they`re gone......until another early start the next day.

Manoel Island, just next to Valletta in Malta, was the Royal Navy Base prior to 1964. Fort Manoel is apparently being renovated to make it safe to visit. But all the other buildings that were used by the Navy have just been left to fall apart. It is the strangest place, all the buildings would have been functional, but have just left derelict for the past 60 years.

Cruising around Gozo in an open-top double decker bus, not normally my chosen
method of transport, but with only one day in Gozo before catching the ferry back to
Valletta, it seems like the best way to see more of the island.
๐Gozo Harbour โ picture perfect.
โชThat church watching over the harbour? Thatโs Our Lady of Lourdes Chapel, doing
her best to photobomb every shot.
๐Oh, and a bonus quad bike gang rolled pastโclearly living their best adventure
movie moment. Another very popular way to tour around Gozo.
Solo travel tip: Open-top buses are a fab way to see the island without the stress of
maps or dodgy parking. Just sit back, snap some pics, and enjoy the breeze! โ๏ธI met a
lovely couple from Chichester in England to chat with on the bus.

The Nymphaeum is the only structure within Fort St Angelo which has never had any
military function. It was built in 1531 for the Grand Master of the Knights of St John as a
relaxation area, in part of a medieval tower.
As the Nymphaeum was built with its back to the sun, it offered constant shade against Maltaโs hot summer. Still used today by the Knight Resident of the Order of St John, who I believe lives here. I hope he didn`t mind me sitting here for a while!! โจ๏ธ
