Alice in Wonderland at Hampton Court Flower Show
I’ve been meaning to attend Hampton Court’s annual Flower Show for years, but this year there was an Alice theme so of course I HAD to go.
It’s said to be the largest flower show in the world, and there was so much “Alice” there that I’ll need to put it in to two blog entries. So, more later, but meanwhile here are some pictures of the children’s scarecrow contest. So many colourful, lively and imaginative interpretations of the characters. You had to vote for your favourite, but really, that was almost impossible.
An elegant Queen of Hearts from Oakdale
A winsome one from Carrington School
A very scary one from Countess Anne's school.
Some fine Hatters. Wilbury School's Hatter reminded me of one of the Muppets.
South Park Primary's Hatter had bags of personality
We liked the spoons hung around his hat
There was a highly accomplished White Rabbit from Northbourne Park School
A suave hare from Wilbury
And a genuinely disturbing Cheshire Cat from St. Mark's
