Chelsea madness
Hi all. Been at Chelsea all week and am absolutely flat out! Very long days filming and now flagging a little, even though it's extremely exciting and its been great fun. A typical day has been getting up at 5.30, a taxi to Chelsea, quick bite to eat and a cup of coffee and start filming around 7.30. I've been making short films in the morning about the show gardens, trends in the planting or my Indiana Jones debut, which was a laugh. Lunch is wolfed down then I start doing some filming with the outside broadcast crew which means a director talking in your ear while I'm trying to talk to someone which is pretty off putting.

The evening consists of Alan and I linking the programme together and having a bit of fun, and then home to bed! It's great working alongside Alan - Mr Chelsea -Ìýas we get on so well. Of course there's Carol, Rachel, Andy Sturgeon and both the Chris's here too and we all keep each other going throughout the day. The standard of Chelsea is always extremely high and this year is no exception. The show gardens, as I'm sure you know by now, are dominated by soothing green and the Floral pavilion looks and smells amazing. One day someone will design the smelly vision so all those who don't get to the show can feel a little closer. Today is the general public day and everybody's been so friendly and most I meet wish me luck with the allotment. Anyway - got to dash-off to make a short film on the 3 small japanese gardens...manic.........catch up soon! Joe
