Mine was a mixture of work & play, with some gardening thrown in for good measure For those asking the coral red flared jumpsuit I wore yesterday in the studio was from @me_andem (bought back in March when I thought we’d have a spring season). Went to the S of France so it got it’s first airing there! Scarf from Spain. Here’s to a good week ahead and remember, it’s a short one ☺️

Frocks out! It had to happened eventually. The dresses have started to return… with the odd denim jacket thrown over the shoulders too as I’m not that brave Huge fan of this brand @aspigalondon. Have bought quite a few of their dresses – both for summer and winter. This little number is begging for some UK & European sunshine! Bring it on… ☀️ Pippa V Neck Dress #gifted Bag @gerarddarel
What a week at The RHS Chelsea Flower Show A massive thank you from Angellica & I for joining us every day @bbcone for our daytime coverage. If you missed any, catch up on @bbciplayer Yesterday was our final hurrah from the showground so here’s a small taster. We were joined by @officialpollywalker fresh off the Bridgerton Garden (we also found some original props from Lady Whistledown @bridgertonnetflix) bumped into my favourite @mrmichaelball, @racheldethame joined us for the Chelsea Clinic & a photo with Elise, who looks after me every day on the show ground… patience of a saint 😘 Met the almighty @levirootsmusic earlier in the week who serenaded me in the green room (absolute legend) plus thanks to @botanygeek for more expert advice. It takes a floral army to put on this show, Angellica & I are just a tiny petal but we really do appreciate the whole team. Massive thanks to the incredible producers & production team, camera crews, researchers, runners, makeup, sound, catering, horticultural experts, designers, landscapers, contractors, sponsors, floral designers, growers, exhibitors, security, the rest of the CFS family plus of course @the_rhs. If I’ve missed anyone out, apologies. Thanks again to @angellicabell. A joy & we now know more plant names than ever!! A perfect week (let’s forget the one day of torrential rain ☔️ 💐🪴🍃) Hopefully a bank holiday weekend of sunshine ☀️ & a return to my little bit of garden paradise at home Floral frock @hobbslondon Shoes bought in Tenerife

Thank you Manchester One of these nights – and a weekend of memories & sunshine Roof terrace cocktails @ivyspinningfieldsmanchester Yes it was open @thecooplive & very impressive. Fabulous acoustics … Managed to yodel my way through their epic set @Eagles. What voices, extraordinary harmonies, 2 hours of joy (had to play a decent clip) There are guitar solos and there are guitar solos… Tram at dusk My boy 👏 #Eagles
Welcome Yorkshire. North Yorkshire. If you’re in the area, you have to visit Thornton-Le-Dale, one of the most picturesque villages I’ve visited & filmed in (around 3 miles from Pickering). Gorgeous. Anyone been there? Check out their ice cream & tea rooms too… 😋 Filming a brand new @escape_country. It’s a beautiful show, for many reasons. Coming soon… Smiling for the camera Wind/scarf issues 🤣 Stunning period property 📸 @celingrao @bbcone @bbciplayer

Huge congratulations to all the gold medal recipients & total respect to those that made it to Chelsea – even if the coveted gold wasn’t to be had this year. Thanks to our tremendous guests on daytime, especially @rose.a.e & @cloudgardeneruk Join Angellica & yours truly 3.45 pm @bbcone for more coverage & bts at the greatest horticultural show in the world 🌺🪴🍃🌸💚 @the_rhs @bbcone @angellicabell #carolklein Photobomber extraordinaire @donnalouisetait Shoes @russellandbromley Dress from @hayleymenziesofficial
Making up for lost time ☀️ The last few days have certainly been kinder & any opportunity I get to go outside is definitely taken. The garden has exploded into life this month. It’s keeping me blissfully happy pottering around & also using it as my ‘outdoor’ office as well as hanging out with friends & fam. Time for somewhere relaxing to sit & chill so I’ve reached out to the lovely team at @britishgardencentres who I met a few years ago, for this beautiful Coniston four seater set from @fern.living 🌿 Colour ✔️ Style ✔️ Comfort ✔️ Hardwearing ✔️ Entertaining ✔️✔️ Available exclusively from British Garden Centres #Ad #Gifted Soaking up the Summer in style 🌿 http://fernliving.com #britishgardencentres #FernLiving #gardenfurniture
Coats, jackets & scarves required filming this week (flaming June? someone is having a laugh) but glorious walks, moorlands, vistas & property to be found in North Yorkshire. Totally fell in love with Pickering, Pateley Bridge & Thornton-Le-Dale. Enjoying my northern escapes this month Also thank you @kjblacklock for sharing your rural dream with us. Not sure how good I was corralling your ducks though 🤔🦆 New @escape_country episodes coming soon @bbcone @bbciplayer @celingrao 📸 @soph_e_knowles @emma_renwick @alex_purkiss_sound

Working around the cluck Back with the marvellous Escape team in gorgeous, though a tad damp (understatement) West Yorkshire. However, the properties, people, food & vistas truly made up for it! Big thanks to Chris & Jack for sharing their passion for Yorkshire & their chickies with us. Cute. So cute. Filming new shows @escape_country – coming soon @bbcone @bbciplayer #escapetothecountry
I’ll take a Wow! Best way to start the week with a brand new @escape_country today ☺️ A lovely young couple want to swap their London flat for something bigger in the East Midlands, where we open the front doors to a gorgeous selection of homes with some fabulous gardens 🏡🪴 East Midlands Escape to the Country Series 24 Episode 48 @bbcone @bbciplayer
Chappers Tours When your relo is over from Oz & you spend a wonderful day sightseeing in your home city. Sometimes you forget what you have on your door step… great day showing @sam_chapman__ some of the delights. @thetoweroflondon @historicroyalpalaces @londoneye @batterseapwrstn #clippercruises #bigben #housesofparliament
