On the Hunt for a Bargain?
Posted on 24/05/10
| Posted by The Fat Gardener
In what appears to have become a daily post from Chelsea I am happy to report that today's press day went off without a hitch. Many of the rich and famous (and some of the not so famous!) turned up today for the first look at the 2010 Chelsea Flower Show.
I was lucky enough to snap the fantastically entertaining (and genuinely nice chap), Tim Wonnacott from BBC1's Bargain Hunt posing with Dominic Elsom (Director, Quality Garden Tools) and Kimberly Cortez (of Ethel Gloves USA) on the Ethel Gloves stand. He was at the show with his charming wife who is a keen gardener herself.
Also celeb-spotted by yours truly: Ringo Starr (legend), Ben Fogle (explorer), Jamie Oliver (cook), Alan Titchmarsh (quelle surprise), Stephen Hawking (genius), Sue Barker (Racketeer), Rob Bryden (funny welshman), Andrew Marr (newshound), Clare Balding (horsey lady) and Cleve West (great gardener, great guy).
Enjoy the rest of the week!
You can visit the Ethel Gloves stand at Cross Way (location CW/4).
