Chelsea Flower Show

Last month we visited the notoriously beautiful Chelsea Flower Show where the Royal Hospital Chelsea hosted a feast for the senses in yet another year of horticultural bliss. From new florals through to garden design and fascinating sculptures this is a truly unforgettable day out. Whilst the Flower Show comes to life time again, there is still plenty to discover each year and we urge you to get yourself a ticket to see the beauty for yourself.

The National Portrait Gallery

In this day and age, it would seem anyone could be a photographer and with so much inspiration surrounding us, it’s easy to see why we want to savour it with a photograph. Sarah recently had the chance to visit the National Portrait Gallery where Martin Parr’s new ‘Only Human’ exhibition has been taking place. This exhibition showcases some of Martins recognisable work and focuses on portraits of people from around the globe with a running theme of Martin’s take on ‘Britishness’. Delve into Martins mind and see what he finds inspirational at the National Portrait Gallery.
