    I’ve always wanted to visit the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. It takes place every year in May at the Royal Hospital Chelsea in London. It opened in 1862 and has been a fixture of the gardening world every year, except during the First and Second World Wars. As mass gatherings are currently banned the 2020 RHS Chelsea Flower Show has been cancelled and a version of it has gone online instead, RHS Virtual Chelsea Gardens.

    10 Royal Wedding crafts fit for a Prince and Princess

    Can I admit I’m a little excited about the upcoming Royal Wedding? It doesn’t seem that long ago since we witnessed the wedding of Prince William and Catherine but it was actually the 29th April 2011. We had fun recreating a favourite family photo of mine. Definitely time to start getting excited about Prince Harry finally tying the knot with Meghan Markle. I have fond memories of watching Princess Diana getting married back in 1981. Did we have the day off school to watch it? I can’t remember but I do remember the souvenirs in all the newspapers, the commemorative…
