  • A lady is sandwiched between her just purchased flowers in the back of a white van, returning home from the annual Chelsea Flower Show. It is a summer May afternoon in west London, when lovers of horticulture have gathered from across the country to admire the ultimate in plants and flowers in the grounds of Chelsea Hospital. With its pink blooms hanging from the main bulk of the shrub, the Fuchsia is resplendent in the late sunshine, a scene of quintessential English gardens and long summer days.

  • Sitting among others in long grass a middle-class lady reads the high-circulation Daily Mail newspaper during a lunchtime break at the Chelsea Flower Show, in London England. The front page headline reads 'Icy Blast from the Kremlin' in an echo from the darkest days of the Cold War, when western media fuelled the insatiable appetite for propaganda. But this scene is from May 1989 before the fall of the Berlin Wall and when the eastern states of the Warsaw Pact were still ruled by their Communist masters. Visitors to this annual horticultural event either sit in the cool shade or like this woman who appears comfortable cross-legged in sandals and a summer dress, stays under the hot mid-day sun with her tabloid format paper spread and with her possessions kept in a shoulder bag.
