time for a look at the weather. it isa it is a good old delve into the mixed bag of weather this week. it is certainly cooler for the south east of england for the flower show, but that will be good for keeping the blooms in top shape. however, there is a lot of clout around today and the cloud comes pouring in across the uk bearing rain for some of us. we never really recover those temperatures that we saw at the weekend. one area of low pressure pushing up from the continent and the weather fronts are trying to tuck down from the north west. the picture across the uk is a bit of a messy one. this area of rainjust to uk is a bit of a messy one. this area of rain just to the east of london at the moment pulling away in the hours ahead. it should be out of the hours ahead. it should be out of the way by teatime, roughly in time for the school run, so hopefully drier conditions. heavier showers in the south west and wales and some nudging into the midlands. showers in scotland
jane porter is 3 chelsea first timer. she has created a slice of scotland using repurposed whiskey casks which are filled with heather and thistle. i really feel like it gives an impression of scotland and also that people can see these sort of ubiquitous planters that you see everywhere and just think, you can do a little bit more with them, with some imagination. before the garden is open to the public tomorrow, some well known faces have been enjoying the displays. roses are falling out of the sky and i have got apples forming, pears forming, figs forming, walnuts, i ve got everything, actually, lemons on my lemon trees dropping off, which i have been picking every night for a gin and tonic. this year s show will be particularly special, as they celebrate the queen s 70 years on the throne. helena wilkinson, bbc news, at the chelsea flower show.
