Following on from these two MAGICal days I had annual leave
on Wednesday to attend the Ellerslie Flower Show. I haven’t missed a show since it has been
held in Christchurch and I was eager to see how they addressed the nasty criticism
and feedback from last year’s show.
Katie and I started the day with breakfast at Brigitte’s in Merivale
then arrived at the show as the gates opened.
Immediately it was apparent that a number of concerns have been
addressed! There was just soooo much
more…. Of everything! First stop was
Emily’s garden to congratulate her on her GOLD!
What a stunning garden!
Katie and I meandered around the gardens, checked out some of the retail
on offer, bought a necklace and a top, then the wonder of the floral art
Marquee.
Then headed to the marquee for the first Jenny Gillies
show! WOW!
What an absolute delight this show is! To see the marquee bulging with the crowd and
people outside peeking in through the gaps was a joy to behold. The talent in the costumes, the dancing and
the humour in the show… altogether an absolutely MAGICAL experience.
On we went to look around the school gardens,
the garden sculptures…
The emerging talent…
Then took a break for lunch!
A final look around the gardens resulted in me being asked
to share my thoughts on the show. Well,
as those of you who know me can imagine, I was uber keen to share my
thoughts!!!! I really am delighted to see
the transformation of the show and was only too happy to share and promote this
wonderful show!
A long drive home to Mosgiel at the end of the day with my
girl was a delightful end to our day!
