Royal-spotting, enclosure-hopping, champagne-popping 🍾 my first Ascot with @rachel_recommends was an absolute triumph (and I’m not just talking about our bets!)

Beyond privileged to have worn @kingsfoundation Ascot Millinery Bursary winner @howie_hatter’s wonderful creation! What an absolute talent. 

Thank you @beyonddevelopments for an unforgettable Day One and for inviting into the historic Parade Ring 🐎 

And is it even a day at the races without a @kellyallen01 rendezvous?!

Stay tuned for more @hellomag content! 👀

Mind, eye, soul blowing. @the_rhs Chelsea Flower Show.

My best friend told me to take a second when I was at Chelsea to just look around at where I was: THE Chelsea Flower show as a guest of one of my design heroines @susiewatsondesigns surrounded by world class garden designers and a gazillion celebrities.

My friend is very wise, sadly I classically got lost on the way to the ground so arrived very late, was overwhelmed by beauty and people but gratefully sunk into Susie’s gloriously comfortable chairs with a glass of champagne and was taken under the beautiful wings of @laurahomeandlifestyle and @ourclapboardhomebythesea who steered me in all the right directions (“posh loos this way”), pointed out all the glorious gardens and only lost their glamorous cool when they saw Mary Berry!

What an extraordinary day. I will add to my what to take list with “battery pack for phone” as I zapped mine only half way round!

My neck hurts from gazing at the true craftsmanship of the gardens but then whipping round to gaze at Joanna Lumley, Kirstie Allsopp, Alan Titchmarsh (who also fell gratefully into Susie’s siren call chairs and apparently he has lots of her furniture at home!!) and I even managed to capture Felicity Kendall in the King’s Trust garden (I was trying to film it once the two figures moved out of shot only to realise that it was Flick who I was cursing with my gardenerly eye behind the lens).

A huge thank you to @lavenderandlovage , @hillhousevintage and @mymulberryhouse who all took time out of their hectic schedules to come and find me and check that I was ok. 

I am only now taking the opportunity to step back and my goodness I am beyond grateful. For amazing friends, amazing women I have been lucky enough to work for and for gardening designers who create ravishing beauty, question our climate change future, highlight amazing causes and inspire and provoke big thoughts. 

@rhschelsea is truly a magical wonderland and I am so grateful to Susie and Anna for inviting me to this once in a lifetime day.

Happy totally bonkers Tuesday x
