how to exhaust yourself having fun

Mum has arrived safe and sound one week ago now. Its absolutely flown by, which is always the terrible thing. we have been having such fun though beginning on the Sunday where we had a boerewors braai (sausage barbeque) Tuesday was my birthday and we went off to Hampton court palace. It was the worst weather we have had all week unfortunately and our picnic was rained upon , but the maze was a great success and the gardens and really wonderful.
Wednesday we went swimming and then went to the monthly dinner club with the girls which was enjoyed by all. Thursday mum and I went to the Chelsea flower show. You have never seen a sight like it. Really its quite mindblowing. This post is dedicated to those photos and I will post more photos of the other bits.
tonight we are off to see Wicked!!! YAY!! Kristian gave me 2 tickets so I could go with my mum. Oh yes and inbetween all this I went to the cinema with Kristian to see State of play with russel crowe and helen mirren, Ben Affleck. Very good. I dont know if a girl in her 30's can take all this activity but I am loving it.
