"It's been quite an experience at Hampton Court this week, especially in terms of the weather. Luckily the plant marquees are stunning as always and there's plenty to see and do inside so you can still have a great day.
There are some lovely show gardens, I love James Wong's Burgbad Sanctuary and the Traveller's Garden is gorgeous. I met with the children from Challock primary school who helped to design the Literacy garden, it's a really beautiful garden with amazing attention to detail.
Of course one of the main highlights for me has been just wallowing in the plants, I've spent a lot of time filming with roses so have been in my element, I could have stayed in there all week!"

However, my faith in people was rewarded, no point in panicing as convinced all would be well, the staff in the champagne and seafood bar found them both and tracked me down. My faith in them was right.
The tragedy would have been losing the huge numbers of photographs that are going to inspire me.
Despire the rain, a more enjoyable show than Chelsea, friendlier, less crowded and show gardens that were more attainable.
A big thank you to the Loch Fyne Seafood staff.
