CHELSEA FLOWER . . . RICKSHAW 2007

True Chelsea residents are divided in two categories when it comes to the Chelsea Flower Show: those who put up with the week of confusion because they are garden enthusiasts (and will attend) and those who passively support the Spring fixture (but won't attend). Scenes of evening mass exodus await us: something vaguely resembling anarchy creeps onto SW3 pavements. This year the scramble has an eco-twist: the rickshaw. Wonderfully British vignettes were enjoyed by all on Royal Hospital Road around 8pm this evening (pictures record beautifully English fashions statements). "What about the gardens?" you may ask... They have been accurately and repeatedly documented by terrestrial TV, Freeview, Sky, radio, websites, podcasts and all kinds of publications. But.... maybe you live outside the little tringle squeezed between the Thames, Chelsea and Pimlico!? I guess you might, so here is the BBC link to most of the above: http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/flower_shows/chelsea_2007/videopodcast_index.shtml
