Hello from the Chelsea Flower Show! Hello! Visiting the flower show has been on our list
for two decades - yeah - at least - yeah, so 20 years. Yes. And we finally made it.
You can probably tell it's very busy. There's so much to see beautiful things to see
and beautiful things to see. Yeah and we're very excited.
Now here's what happened: I just I had to leave the Chelsea Flower Show. It's so packed,
you wouldn't believe it. We expected it to be busy but this was beyond my imagination and
I just, I'm okay with people but not when it's really really packed so we decided
that I just go out and explore the Chelsea area and film a little bit for you and Jörg,
Jörg stayed. And he has a lot more patience and he said he tries to film the Chelsea Flower Show
for you guys so this is what we do. And now back to Jörg and I show you what he filmed.
I just stumbled upon Bennison and in case you don't know the brand, they do amazing fabrics
and wallpaper. Very traditional. And I thought I need to share. Have a look here. So stunning.
Well, what happened in the afternoon? I told you. Jörg stayed there and tried to film as
much as possible. Yeah, which I did. Yeah. So my experience was that I of course expected
a lot of people but for my taste because I just like to enjoy the beauty and look at the gardens,
get some inspiration, for me that wasn't possible. Even I mean even if I would be,
even if we wouldn't be filming. It was just too much for me. My verdict is it was
beautiful and if you're not afraid of people because a lot of people, you will just enjoy
it. I'm not afraid of people. It was just too much. Yeah, there are crowds of people.
It's sometimes you can't even move and that's I don't know it's a little bit overwhelming.
So I don't know, tickets are quite expensive but there is a great alternative.
If you don't want to buy a ticket or are not able to get hold of a ticket, there's also 'Chelsea
in Bloom'. Yeah. And can you say more about it Jörg? It's simply around let's say, yeah
Chelsea. All the roads, all the shops and some houses are decorated and have displays with
flowers and everything. It's just nice. So most of it is, um, in Kings Road. Yeah. What else? Sloane
Street, Sloane Square. Yeah. And it's absolutely stunning. I think the ideas they come up with are
amazing so it's also busy but not as bad. Yeah. So - and some of the displays are really beautiful.
And fun and it's just absolutely lovely. So I prefer that. And yeah, just to give you an idea
and how we feel about it. So this is a map that you can find online and print. And it gives you
all the places that you can visit. And I think the second page says the shops and we shouldn't forget
to mention this year's topic is British Icons so you can walk along the British Icons trail. Yeah.
Now we're heading to a French restaurant. It's actually two years ago we went to
the sister restaurant which is called, I forgot the name.
My goodness. Maggie something. Maggie, Maggie Jones which was absolutely amazing
and we thought we would try the sister restaurant. And because Jörg's French
is 'extraordinaire'. Yeah. It's 'Poule au Pot'. 'La Poule au Pot'. 'La Poule au Pot'.
So yeah, we want to try that one and see how it tastes and I think it looks quite stunning,
the atmosphere in there. At least it sounds good and the English translation is chicken in a pot.
And this is it, 'La Poule au Pot'.
I'm speechless. I I don't know what to say guys. Say something Jörg. Dinner was
just not what we expected it to be. The problem is, it it wasn't just dinner.
The service - yeah - appalling. We had to wait I think 45 minutes until we could order something.
Yes and it's now almost 9.30 and I only had a main. So we just want to warn you,
maybe if you've been there before - yeah, maybe if you're regular it's fine. Yeah.
We just felt completely ignored. Yeah, it was absolutely horrific - yeah - so we won't go there
again ever. No no. We wouldn't recommend the place. No. And that's the reason why we also
didn't film the food because we just we wanted to leave. No. The problem is I wanted to leave
and Jörg said because we hadn't had food all day. Yeah. And when we wanted to leave, they just came.
Yeah. We're too polite. I tried to edit the video as best as I can and well, this just again shows
it's not always perfect. Yeah, it's not always going to plan. No, absolutely not. That's life.
This day was, was terrible. No, it wasn't terrible. Not everything but - at least it
was a day we will remember. Yes. So we still hope that you like the video and thank you so much for
watching. And we'll see you again very soon - yeah - so take care. Take care. Bye. Bye bye.
