Malvern
22nd May 2011
It's been a few days now since I was at the Malvern Spring Show. It was as always a really great event. In fact it gets better every year. The Chelsea gardens are starting to receive some really stiff competition from the designers showing at Malvern. The weather was a bit variable, as usual, but what the heck! This is England after all. This weekend has been a real wash out though. I attended a Hot Air Balloon Festival in Tiverton yesterday. What a shame that the weather wasn't kinder. No mass ascent in the afternoon and even the Night Glow was cancelled. If you've never attended a Night Glow then you haven't lived. dozens of balloons fully inflated with their burners going full blast and the whole balloon glowing in the dimpsy dusk. It's what photography was invented for - but it wasn't to be. Ah well! Another time maybe.
