A thought for your day, with my good wishes …

The fortunate circumstances of our lives are generally found, at last, to be of our own producing.

Giraffes, horses, hares and more wonderful creatures: at the Chelsea Flower Show/CFS today. These driftwood sculptures are by James Doran-Webb. I recognised his style from some equally appealing sculptures at @Beaulieu. #cfs #chelseaflowershow #chelseainbloom #chelseaflowershow2019 #driftwood #sculpture #driftwoodsculptures #chelsea #belgravia #london #secretlondon #garden #gardenshow #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travelpassion #sculpturesofinstagram #sculptureart My thanks to all who offered suggestions for this first visit to the Chelsea Flower Show. Six hours later, I have new memories (and scents emblazoned) and more pics than you want to know.

I loved watching them graze and run in the moonlight. #horse #horses #newforest #lyndhurst #hampshire #nationalpark #newforesthorses #newforestnationalpark #nature #moonlight #risingmoon #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travelpassion One of my fav displays - at Rag and Bone - around Sloan Square this week, where local businesses are tagging on to this year’s Chelsea Flower Show with an “Under the Sea” theme. Here, oodles of fresh flowers and oodles of admirers. #chelseainbloom #cfs #sloansquare #chelseaflowershow #ragandbone #ragandbonelondon #prettycitylondon #prettycities #secretlondon #thisislondon #explorelondon #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke Pretty in pink, which is the colour of the day at Peggy Porschen Cakes in London. The cake I enjoyed with @kathleen.drum last evening was tasty, and the staff - Yas, Jess and co. - are incredibly patient and kind to all who stop by solely for pics that ultimately promote the brand. This Belgravia location is barely 10 minutes from Sloan Square. #cake #cupcakes #peggyporschen #pink #prettyinpink #belgravia #instafamous #instafame #london #sloansquare #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #prettycitylondon #theprettycities I found the grounds outside Winchester Cathedral so appealing that I spent quite a while there, walking and enjoying the birdsong. #staatues #winchester #hampshire #light #winchesteruk #southeastengland #architecture #light #architecturephotography #cathedral #churchofengland #england #uk #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travelpassion #birdsong The grounds of Winchester Cathedral #staatues #winchester #hampshire #light #winchesteruk #southeastengland #architecture #light #architecturephotography #cathedral #churchofengland #england #uk #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travelpassion Inside Winchester Cathedral #staatues #winchester #hampshire #light #winchesteruk #southeastengland #architecture #light #architecturephotography #cathedral #churchofengland #england #uk #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travelpassion More of the dancers outside Winchester Cathedral last weekend A look inside Winchester Cathedral, to the sound of folk dancers outside the entrance #winchester #hampshire #winchesteruk #southeastengland #architecture #light #architecturephotography #cathedral #churchofengland #england #uk #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travelpassion #morrisdancers Inside Winchester Cathedral #winchester #hampshire #winchesteruk #southeastengland #architecture #light #architecturephotography #cathedral #churchofengland #england #uk #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travelpassion A look inside Winchester Cathedral, to the sound of folk dancers outside the entrance #winchester #hampshire #winchesteruk #southeastengland #architecture #light #architecturephotography #cathedral #churchofengland #england #uk #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travelpassion Grazing by moonlight in England’s New Forest #horse #horses #newforest #lyndhurst #hampshire #nationalpark #newforesthorses #newforestnationalpark #nature #moonlight #risingmoon #visualsoflife #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travelpassion Thanks to @kathleen.drum for a lovely time roaming the streets around Sloan Square and enjoying the Chelsea Flower Show vibe this evening.

Beaulieu is a treasure, and I appreciate the incorporation of stunning sculptures around the grounds. #beaulieu #newforest #hampshire #garden #greatgardens #visualsoflife #gardening #landscapedesign #sculpture #architecturephotography #england #uk #ukroadtrip #aplacetoremember #roamtheplanet #sourceadventures #worldcaptures #travelpassion #worldplaces #passionpassport #travelstoke #travel #wisteria #wisteriahysteria
