As per my previous post, after joining the Royal Horticultural Soc. 'She who must be obeyed and I went to the annual show at Tatton Park. Being a little concerned about the popularity of the show and therefore the vehicular access, I took advice from a friend who told me they were very efficient and parking was not a problem. I took this dear friend too literally, and followed the signs for the show from the M60 motorway. To cut a long story short, the signs took me a long and ridiculous detour and the journey took 2 hours instead of an estimated 40 minutes. I will remember for next year and go my own route. (Should anyone want chapter and verse on this story, e-mail/message me and I will expand)
Anyway once we arrived, the show was great - much bigger than I thought but so much to see and wonder of wonders the North-West weather proved very kind. The most impressive thing was that lots of things can be purchased (plants, tools etc) at very reasonable prices. All in all well worth a visit.
