We visited one of the lovely parks here called Laurel Bank Park and the following photos are taken on my not so good little camera. These flowers are real !!! We could not believe the colour and the splendour of the gardens. They have planted the flowers in some of the gardens to look like cartoon characters. Soooo well done.
We also went to a wonderful display of teapots. I loved all the character and novelty ones.
We also visited the local Spinners & Weavers display. They had lovely work for sale like felted and knitted berets and hats, flower pins, scarves, felted tote bags etc.etc. Shirley bought a beret and I was searching for a flower pin just the right colour without success.
Tomorrow we are off to see some embroidery, a textile art exhibition and Queens Park.
Whew there is so much to fit in.

Lovely pictures, beautiful flowers :)
Thank you for sharing your day with us.
The flowers are so beautiful. It is so many years since I have been to Carnival of Flowers. Had hoped this would be the year to go again, but it is not working out that way. Maybe next?
HI Di,
I am so happy you and Shirley are out and about again having fun! That park is amazing! Love all the beautiful flowers and the roses!
The teapots are so lovely!
I am sure you had a fantastic time.
