What a treat spending the day at the #ChelseaFlowerShow and meeting the fabulous #KazuyukiIshihara who won Best Garden award for his Japanese Tea Garden. I could have stayed there for ever. Enjoy the clip. The RHS

Lovely day spent at the #ChelseaFlowerShow. Sometimes you just have to flop on a pink throne and walk among the roses. Thank you The RHS and all the designers. #ChelseaPensionersGarden #BalconyGarden #DavidAustinRoses

Congratulations to both of them. Met Deepa at jaipurlitfest two years ago. Such a lovely person, so unassuming and totally committed. Delighted for her and Banu Mushtaq. More power to translators!
