Wheelbarrows at Heathrow

Wheelbarrows at Heathrow

Simply Sunday.  Coming out of Heathrow‘s Terminal Five the other day I saw lines of metal wheelbarrows.  One row is painted fuchsia pink, one dull yellow, one turquoise.  A tiny sign explains that this is in honour of the annual Chelsea Flower Show, which this year celebrates its centenary.  London will be absolutely clogged May 21-25, 2013, as thousands flock to see the gardens.  Fifteen are specially designed, say by Arthritis Research. One that will get a lot of acclaim is Sentabale Forget-me-not, sponsored by household do-it-yourself company B&Q. This garden celebrates Prince Harry‘s charity in Lesotho and, what with Prince Harry getting raves in the USA last week and playing polo in the Sentabale team at a match closely involved with St Regis luxury hotels, you can be sure royal-watchers will be checking that garden.  Which brings the gal back to a display of wheelbarrows, put up by Heathrow’s owner, still known to everyone as BAA.  A little thing like that reminds the travel what is going on…
