beautiful sunny chelsea

It's hard to remember that the sun was shining just a few weeks ago. Three days of rain can feel like a month, can feel like forever. Tomorrow is Gardener's World Live, and honestly the weather is not going to be good. Three days of carrying my laptop through the rain (it's been a bit of an intense half week at work) has drifted me from delight at all the beauties of a rainy day (and not having to water the garden any more) - oh swallows in the rain, blackbirds singing loud to outpace the raindrops - to worry about getting chilled, and a cold coming on, and not being in the mood for the bus to take over half an hour to turn up while the passengers build up, spill out of the bus-shelter, and try to shelter under a Horse Chestnut tree. That doesn't work so well, of course. You get dripped on.

Nevermind, lets look back at the blindingly hot weather that was here on the other week. Here's Chelsea, so bright that the camera whites out every time I have the sky or anything reflective in my viewfinder.

Enjoy the brightness:

There's notes through in Flickr, but if you want answers, most of the really puzzling stuff may be found here. Expect the tiny people gardening around the edges of a miniature A Road. That's just a standalone mystery from the Floral Marquee.
