OUR VISIT TO THE CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW IN LONDON: When things don't go as planned

OUR VISIT TO THE CHELSEA FLOWER SHOW IN LONDON: When things don't go as planned// Happy Friday, As promised today we're sharing Part II of our visit to London where we went just a week before the Queen Elizabeth Platinum Jubilee. Months ago we bought tickets to the Chelsea Flower Show 2022 because it has been on our wish list for more than 20 years. Expectations were high so we tell you what we actually think of it and if it's really worth going. We also share parts of 'Chelsea in Bloom' which always happens alongside the Chelsea Flower Show - Chelsea's retailers, hotels and restaurants have the most beautiful flower displays. Chelsea is wonderful to explore!! We hope you enjoy the video! Kirsten & Jörg xx

I think you two are the only KZbin creators I’ve ever found who can make a very difficult day into a cozy & peaceful video!!! Your product is absolutely lovely! ❤️

[@KirstenJoerg]

Oh wow, that's such a big compliment, thank you!

[@rhondareimers5361]

I just wanted to say how much joy your vlogs bring me. I’m 70 ylo woman who has lived in Hawaii for most of her life with a little travel. The two of you are adorable together and the love and respect you show for each other is ❤️ warming. Thank you so much. Your fan from Hawaii. Aunty Rhonda and her little rescue Stella🐶

[@lawriefoster5587]

Aunty Rhonda..can we adopt you?? You sound delightful!!

[@zumies.82]

I absolutely love your channel. I found it by accident. Always was intrigued with the English culture and countryside. I'm an American living in Florida. You both bring peace, happiness and calm in this crazy world. Love ❤️ you both. Keep up the amazing work.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much - from 2 Germans living in Britain.

[@christinecaronnabeard1369]

You guys compliment one another so well and, honestly, with respect to the day, who’s interested in perfection? I prefer your honesty and reality any day of the week. You stay upbeat 99% of the time and that’s just great!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much - it's always important for us to be absolutely honest.

[@tigermoon44]

It was a beautiful day together and sometimes when things don't go to plan you realize even more how special your loved one is because in the scheme of things it doesn't matter as long as you both are together!

[@KirstenJoerg]

Absolutely, being together is the most important of all.

[@gracemccartin194]

I could not have stayed in the very crowded, noisy Flower show either… just too overwhelming when one is more of a one-on-one person. It was sweet of Joerg to film the flower show and put beautiful peaceful music behind it so your utube viewers got the best of both worlds: beautiful flowers and peaceful music. Thanks to both of you🥰

[@virginiawestcot3111]

Joerg has such amazing skills for photography. He filmed the flower show like a pro. Sorry the French restaurant was not a happy ending to your beautiful day. But it's the good memories that count in life.

[@vee1552]

Truly stunning flower displays. Thank you, Joerg, for persevering. I would have been with Kirsten wandering about elsewhere where there weren't so many people. Sometimes dividing and conquering works out very well.

[@KirstenJoerg]

We would have so loved to be there together as we've been wanting to go there for more than 20 years but the crowds were absolutely insane, it was very hard to enjoy.

[@elizawalker7196]

Joerg did a really good job of filming the gardens at the CFS and managed to do it without showing any crowds; you should do more filming, Joerg! I imagine it would be virtually impossible to film the other areas without filming members of the public, many of whom might object to being filmed when enjoying a day out. Then, you'd have to spend editing time, blanking out their faces! Well done, Joerg, you showed the beauty of the CFS gardens.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Aww thanks so much! Oh all the videos you see, they are always a product of filming material from the both of us.

[@maggiemaymightnot]

You managed to make an excellent video out of a series of difficulties and you still made it interesting and beautiful thank you for taking us along.

[@user-nr1le4fn9q]

Dear people it's very nice to see and hear you again! Thank you so much that you are so positivity. Your best bloggers on the English speaking channel! Your channel is informative and beautiful and you do everything with love!

[@user-nr1le4fn9q]

I have done some mistakes it's my bed I'm so sorry

[@lorrilewis2178]

Joerg did an excellent job of filming!!! I really appreciate when the viewer can get a good idea of a place.

[@vickithornley5056]

Yes, wonderful work, Joerg!

[@donnaterrell938]

I love hearing from Joerg, he's very matter- of! -fact, and optimistic. Love all the flowers! Thanks for sharing your adventures.

[@aina8318]

Life is not perfect and I love that you share the things that didn't go exactly as planned. As someone else here said; Sometimes the bad days on trips really are the ones we remember fondly 😉

[@VionaBee]

May I just say how much I appreciate and admire your filming: your steady hand, your attention to details and your exquisite taste.👌👏 Thank you for filming it so beautifully even in such a crowded place. 😍And I'm so sorry your experience was somehow ruined because of the crowd at the show and for being so poorly treated at that french restaurant.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! It was a strange day but unfortunately things like that happen and we just try to move on but the flower show was a real let down to be honest.

[@KirstenJoerg]

@@gavinlambert1129 Thanks so much Gavin - that's exactly what happened! The crowds just took away all of the beauty and charm.

[@VionaBee]

@@KirstenJoerg Yes, I can imagine it must be. You waited for it for 20 years, the prices for the show are expensive and when you finally got there, because of the crowd you just couldn't enjoy the show the way you normally would. I think if I was there I would also run away.

[@somattalistenta]

Absolutely stunning flower show guys and especially around the streets for the Jubilee, amazing displays loved every minute, thanks for sticking with the crowds Joerg. I appreciate the fact that you left criticism of the restaurant, they need to be exposed.

[@jessicastrideart]

Well done to Joerg for braving the crowds! I'd be the same as you, it looked far too busy for me to enjoy it. Thankyou both for sharing your visit, it looks absolutely stunning.💖

[@KirstenJoerg]

It was just madness, such a shame.

[@usafloridaNP]

Hi Kristen and Joerg. How great it is when a husband and wife have the same interests, tastes, hobbies. You are a wonderful couple. I love your videos on youtube. Now I have a dream to live in England. I am just delighted with this country, although I have never been there. ❤️😍from Florida

[@Rita-cm7zc]

I feel the same I am in love with England. Although I have never been there. From Holland 🇾🇪

[@usafloridaNP]

@@Rita-cm7zc You also have many beautiful places in Amsterdam. Giethoorn…I love Andre Rieu 😍

[@Rita-cm7zc]

Hi Nadya ,yes we have nice places here too but very different from England. And you live in sunny Florida 🌞 I only passed Miamy Airport a few times while I lived in Curaçao. 🙂

[@maureenabray7660]

I understand completely. I haven't been to a major flower show in over 6 years. I lived in Philadelphia, PA, USA and would make every effort each year to attend the Philadelphia Flower Show each year, prior to the pandemic. It was even more crowded than I can notice on Joerg's filming. Thank you for taking us on a tour of Chesea and Joerg for filming inside the flower show.

[@susandelongis885]

Oh. I’ve always wondered what the Chelsea Flower Show is like and you share such a beautiful and fun sample of the show and town! Thank you so much for how hard you both work to bring us videos that are always filled with interesting subjects, wonderful places and a real sense of being right there with two treasured friends. ❤️🇺🇸❤️🇬🇧

[@ciaobella8963]

Wow, you guys REALLY deserve this thumbs up! Thank you for editing your video so well, that we all were blessed by it. The flowers were glorious. I lived in Manhattan for 42 years of my life. Talk about crowds! Now I'm retired and I live in the mountains in northern Tuscany, Italy. I bet you know why haha.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Oh I can imagine, I have been to Manhattan a number of times but always loved it. The Flower Show was the worst so far.

[@homerwiggins3965]

That was beautiful! I am a gardener and always love seeing flowers and vegetables! Loved especially the Icon Trail! Kirsten I am like you! I don’t do well in massive crowds and I love how honest you two are on your opinions of things! Thanks for the tour! Really enjoyed it! Best wishes!

[@nekochan2656]

Wow! So stunning! I'm with you, Kirsten. Too many people make me nervous and I can't just relax and enjoy. Thank you for sharing this beautiful celebration with us. 🌼 🌹

[@lisacompton3913]

That's exactly it, life is not all a bed of roses. This is why you guys are so dear to my heart, because you are honest and truthful. Thankyou.

[@anaisbloem8205]

I'm just like Kirsten, loads of people feel like there's no room to enjoy yourself 😓 and even though your day didn't go to plan you still produced a lovely video! Well done 😊

[@Graceandjoy46]

Just have sometime to enjoy your adventures. Chelsea Flower Show is just famous. Thank you, Joerg, for braving the crowd to show the fantastic displays. And thank you, Kirsten, for showing the beautiful Chelsea. Both of you are always so great in sharing the wonderful places.

[@sugarbabylove1000]

I've always wanted to go to the Chelsea Flower Show but find it's v expensive, so have always watched on TV or online. Like you, I think I would find the crowds overwhelming. Joerg did a grand job of filming. There were many stunning gardens again this year. Chelsea in Bloom is a lovely thing for the area to do and it was nice to see that. Shame about the restaurant. Glad you gave an honest and frank review.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Can just recommend - stick to watching it on TV. Having wanting to go there for tickets and experience this, was just more than disappointing (tickets are far too expensive for sure). Chelsea in Bloom is really really nice (and free).

[@helenbailey8419]

It was incredible.I am so grateful that where ever you go you film the flowers so tenderly.

[@elizabethanne8729]

Kirsten, I’m right there with you on the crowds!!! I am glad Joerg was able to show us this gorgeous flower show!

[@KirstenJoerg]

It was pure madness, absolutely terrible.

[@shirleyellis9708]

Wow, wonderful flower show I could even smell of sense from 🇦🇺 I'm the same with a big crowd like to see what I'm looking at not follow like sheep.

[@paigeg1150]

Beautiful vlog Kirsten, it was lovely to see all the shops decorated in Chelsea. Quite unique no one else has done that they just concentrate on the flower show. Loved it 🌷

[@tessapiotrowskikristensen8058]

What a treat to show us the gardens! Thank you. You, two are the epitome of teamwork! In my household, it's my husband that does not like crowds. I don't mind them.

[@marysmyth8288]

So wonderful the floral displays , also the streets and shops displaying the celebration Of The Chelsea flower show , marvelous and thanks Joerg and Kirsten for doing such An amazing presentation with your videos . Mary Canada 🍁

[@MarinaJA7]

Wow! Just beautiful! Thank you guys and thank you, Joerg for braving those crowds for your subscribers. Your effort is very appreciated 💞

[@gailgoldys1462]

Sorry it didn’t go as planned Still what you showcased was stunningly beautiful

[@FilmFanization]

I don't like big crowds either Kristen! This was a lovely video! Always so wonderful watching your channel!

[@KirstenJoerg]

The crowds were pure madness, couldn't believe it. Thanks so much for watching.

[@lisakilmer2667]

I completely understand your reluctance to stay in such a crowd, Kirsten. I've always struggled with crowds and since the pandemic it's gotten worse, since I didn't see any crowds for two years. I was able to watch coverage on Britbox - a lot more blathering than I wanted, but still a good view of the gardens without the crowds. It's wonderful that you produced such an attractive video - brava and bravo to you both. Your work is appreciated.

[@marilys3549]

The flowers were stunning! I don't like packed out crowds either...so no worries 👍. Loved the displays around Chelsea. Loved Hemmison fabrics and wallpapers, just my style.

[@KirstenJoerg]

I had a bad feeling as soon as we walked in and saw all the people, it was madness.

[@cindysteffens8065]

Sometimes things just don't go as planned or hoped for. The footage of the flower displays was wonderful. Thanks for sharing your, not so perfect, day! 💐🌸🌹🥀🌺🌻🌾🌷⚘❤

[@lindamiller3382]

I have seen at least two other KZbinrs videos of the magnificent flower show, but yours is by far the best. You presented views such as the little shops that the others did not. Such stunning displays. Thank you for sharing.

[@KirstenJoerg]

Oh that's so kind, thank you so much Linda!

[@cindi7955]

My heart broke for you at the way you were treated in that restaurant. This happened to us once and it makes you feel so unwanted and it is hurtful. To have to pay for a time to be treated that way is adding insult to injury. We were very patient and kind to the server when they came but could not wait to exit as we were 'invisible'. You two are so upbeat and sweet and should have been treasured. The video was full of beauty and I, like you, Kirsten, do not like crowds at events like Flower shows. So I do what you did and go out and enjoy the fresh air while my husband took pictures as crowds do not bother him. The outside decorations were beautiful and they came with no crowds and were free. Sorry a 20 year dream fell short for you but your love for each other shone through. A good teaching video and honest. (hugs)

[@Janniejoon]

Kirsten, I'm with you, it's too hard to enjoy something like the Chelsea Flower Show when there's a huge crowd. I would prefer Chelsea in Bloom for the clever displays, open spaces, and shops to pop into. Joerg did a great job getting the flower show on video though, much appreciated! So sorry about dinner! You guys are good sports and and very kind, even when it's not a favorable review. On to the next adventure!! 💖

[@brendagarner6367]

The flowers are so beautiful!!! Thank you Kirsten and Jorge for facing the hoards so we can have a relaxing view without the struggles. I can relate. I visited the Eiffel Tower, with a tour, at the height of tourist season. Oh my! Thank you also for your honest opinion of all your travels. It is helpful for those who plan to travel. It is probably also helpful to the locations to improve their business. I so love to travel vicariously through you!!!

[@laurasarratt9285]

I understand Ms. Kristen’s aversion to the crowds. I would not be able to cope. Your film of the Chelsea Flower Show, including the town of Chelsea was delightful. Thank you.

[@irenelucas5240]

Beautiful gardens - what lovely flowers!

[@wendyk4617]

Kirsten, I'm like you, getting so I hate crowds and all the loud noise. My kids don't understand why I don't want to go to a loud public place and shout to talk. Someday they will. Loved all the flowers so beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!

[@KirstenJoerg]

It would have been fine with a lot of people but the amount of people there were just madness, so hard to even enjoy a minute.

[@ceciliakrafft3027]

One of the greatness of the character is to be truthful to yourself, your loved ones and in your case, also your fans. I do admire you and your lifestyle. Your videos are honest and beautiful and always make my day better 💕

[@janelevers291]

Thank you Kirsten and Joerg. I really enjoyed your filming. What a great display on the streets of Chelsea. Sorry to hear the meal was so poor with the terrible service. Take care Jane x

[@autodidactin]

Jörg, thank you for braving the crowds at the Flower Show. I think you have a special knack for filming gardens and flowers, judging by this and many other videos featuring the lovely gardens of the British Isles.

[@carolrodriguez3130]

England is amazing thanks for sharing and filmed, you both are angels !

[@JeriLandersofHopalongHollow]

Oops, what a bumpy day! Oh well, Joerg got some wonderful garden footage and the shop fronts on the London street where marvelous.

[@jewelcopeland3374]

Thankyou for your patience Joerg , the garden show was beautiful beyond words . I'm so glad you stuck it out , and filmed it for us , l enjoyed it very much. I too am like Kirsten , crowds overwhelm me and cause breathing and anxiety attacks . It's too much for me , and l seek escape as soon as l can . I love gardening and enjoy professional gardens very much , but l prefer them to be quiet and soothing to the senses. I love following you two , your an absolute pleasure to spend time with . Keep up the good work , both of you .

Your videos are always perfect. I appreciate your honesty. Thank you and take care.

Oh my just lovely. My favorite was the all white garden. It was absolutely beautiful. I'm a white, off-white Linen type of person. The shape with the wallpaper and rose spray design with a stripe fabric was a beautiful display. I don't know how yall can go to place like this and not go home slightly poorer? It's been just a delight to accompany you both on this wonderful trip. See ya'll again on next trip. Take care of each other. Across the Pond Friend 🇺🇸 🌎

Für uns ein schöner Start ins Wochenende 😃- ein Video von euch. Schade, dass du Kirsten , es nicht so genießen konntest aber ich kann nachfühlen wie du es empfunden hast. Wenn man die Aufnahmen von Jörg anschaut, meint man gar nicht,dass soviel los war. Er hat wirklich die Menschenmengen „ausgeschlossen“. So sah es sehr friedlich und schön aus 🌷🌼🌸🪴. Und dann noch das Restaurant .. 😱 Oh mein Gott 🙈 Trotzdem euch ein schönes Wochenende ! Schöne Grüße aus Köln von Regina und Jörg

[@KirstenJoerg]

Es war furchtbar viel los, wir haben schon einiges erlebt aber das hat alles getoppt. Die Gärten selbst waren ja abgesperrt, deshalb sahen die Aufnahmen von Jörg anders aus und geben einen anderen Eindruck. Er stand immer neben Hunderten von Leuten, es war wirklich entsetzlich dort. Ganz ganz liebe Grüße

I just wish, Kristen, that you could have enjoyed the flower show. I would have not been able to endure all those people either. Thanks to you both for everything!

The show was gorgeous! Thank you for taking us there! Love from Vermont

[@nancycolbert2703]

Wow! You saw a lot in your visit to London. I applaude you tackling the metro system and looking like pros meandering your way around that vast city. You accomplished much in a short time. Thank you Joerg for the wonderful video capture of the Chelsey Flower Show and Chelsey Blooms. Have always wanted to attend and now thanks to you, I have. Can understand Kirsten, your anxiety with large close crowds. Glad you both found a solution. How awful to be treated so inhospitable in a well known restaurant. Glad you told your viewers. Take care and stay safe......🇨🇦🇬🇧

[@KirstenJoerg]

Aww thanks! The tube system is actually quite easy to tackle and we have been to London many times so luckily know how it works by now :) The thing is, I do can handle crowds but we didn’t film all the people ( it was like sardines in a tin everywhere) it was honestly pure madness and one couldn’t enjoy the beauty.

[@CaponeCabin]

The flower show was absolutely beautiful..... but I really in ernst appreciate Joerg filming this for us to see....otherwise we wouldn't get to enjoy it! Kirsten, I completely understand about crowds, and you stepped away for us so Joerg could film.... that is truly admirable 🥰

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much! I so loved that Jörg filmed the William Morris garden as I was so excited to see it in person but the crowds were absolutely terrible everywhere.

It’s totally fine when there are people but the crowds there were unbelievable.

[@frankangel9430]

Like yourself Kirsten I would have loved to have stayed and seen all the beautiful gardens for ideas & inspiration, but I can't handle such big crowds anymore. Fair play to Joerg for doing it. Thank you Joerg. I'm sure there were some beautiful gardens there. The ones you showed I loved. I live in Spain now ,but I used to watch the chelsea flower show on Gardner's World in the 90's on tv. Brings back memories. Thank you. Love from Galicia.

[@kayaker9912]

What a beautiful flower show from what Joerg recorded. I am a big gardener, mostly for the the preservation of Monarch's, bees and birds, so this was like eye candy for me to see. I am like you Kirsten, I don't mind some people around, if I feel like I am being squeezed, the enjoyment is gone, so seeing the creative designs of the flowers, artfulness of other items in Chelsea was super fun as well. Gives me ideas for more fun in my gardens, on an island in the state of Maine (US). I truly enjoy your videos, they keep me calm and happy, thank you!

[@trudymcdonald2731]

A Big Thank You for sharing this! I am a Florist of 35 years in Tennessee and one of my dreams is to attend this show! I loved every moment! Great footage of such Beautiful things! I would have been the same with the crowds! I loved Every Moment of this visit! Kind Regards.

[@mrs.g.9816]

Oooh! I loved seeing the flowers. Not only at the Chelsea flower show but all around the streets in honor of Queen Elizabeth's platinum jubilee. I've planted lupines, painted daisies, bachelor's buttons and California poppies a few weeks ago in my garden, but after seeing the video, I sure wish I could have planted delphiniums, too. I hope despite that French restaurant bummer, you've been enjoying your London trip!

[@MagentaOtterTravels]

Oh yes, Kirsten…I’m with you! I don’t mind crowds, but when you showed that first shot of the flower show and how it was wall-to-wall people shoulder to shoulder, I said to Ian, “there’s no way I could enjoy being in that!” Joerg did a beautiful job filming the flower show! We also love the William Morris display! Hey the display with the waning trees reminded me of Kiftsgate Garden in Gloucestershire. So pretty! It was interesting to see all of the flowers around other parts of Chelsea that you explored! The whole area was getting in a very floral mood! I enjoyed seeing all the Jubilee displays when we were in London! 💜👑 So many towns and cities have a “town in bloom“ in Britain during the summer. I have really enjoyed seeing those around the country! 🌸🇬🇧 The Chelsea in Bloom trail looked AMAZING!!! I wish we had known about that when we were in London! We would’ve loved to of seen it. There was so much to see! Honestly, my favorite thing in the whole video was probably the tiered afternoon tea tray made all from flowers! Thanks so much for taking us all around to these lovely places in this video! Cheers! XX Dara & Ian

[@KirstenJoerg]

My word Dara, the crowds at the Chelsea Flower Show were madness, it was absolutely ridiculous and like that everywhere (what you saw in the beginning). Jörg didn't like it either but he has more patience so could cope more but we both agreed on the fact that we won't go there again. Chelsea in Bloom is so fun and we only saw a small fraction. Should you be in the UK next May, you can do it, it's also every year. We so LOVE the tiered afternoon tray too, it was so beautiful. Hope you're keeping very well.xx

Thank you sooooooooo much

[@lindaedwards7840]

Hello and Good morning to you. I have enjoyed all of your videos, I am with Kristen I had a similar experience this year at the Hampton court flower show, too many people, I was not able to take my time and enjoy the displays, I felt as though I had to be constantly moving seeing nothing but the backs of people's heads.Also it rained for much of the day, my friend and I found an open marquee with some available seats and sat out most of the afternoon. There were limited opportunities to take photos . After saying that, it was something I had wanted to do for a while now. I have been had the experience don't need to do it again. A trip to Kew Gardens the following day was so much better worthwhile and yes I would go again. Thank you for your honest accounts of places to visit. 🙏🌹

[@KirstenJoerg]

Hello Linda! Oh no, I so get that - so sorry that it wasn't enjoyable. So many people recommended the Hampton Court Flower Show but it seems to be very busy now as well. Since we create videos it doesn't seem an option to go there as people keep running in front of your camera and you simply can't enjoy it for a second either. So glad to hear that Kew Gardens was nice for you.

[@lindaedwards7840]

Hello and thank you for your replies, I often go to the Southport flower show, when it all gers a bit too much I go to the bowling green on site and have a relaxing time watching various matches or just sit chatting to whoever comes along . Great day out . 🤗🌞

[@mewalters4392]

You made the best of it!🥰The flower displays around Chelsea were unique and gorgeous. I’m glad you shared them.

[@delinayoungs3988]

Life sometimes is a reality. I watched the whole Chelsea flower show on Brit box sponsored by Gardner’s world. I think it was at least 10 shows. Excellent way to see ALL of it. I could see it was very crowned. I am NOT a huge crowd fan myself. So for those of you who want to see it and the Garden exhibits go watch that show. I could see people were not allowed to walk through them, only view them from the outside. Feel you guys are honest and we like that about you. I am sure people who visit England would take your advice and go see or stay at places you have share on your channel. So honesty is the best policy. Thanks for sharing the shop decorations were beautiful as well.

[@karinwolfebridge9062]

Beautiful footage, Jorg, especially the white garden - fabulous! Thanks for braving the crowds :)

[@lawriefoster5587]

Kirsten, I am absolutely agreeing with you!! The Philadelphia Flower Show is the same...tons of people...I myself can not enjoy it and it costs about 75.00 to get in unless you are a member. We would much rather spend the day at Longwood Gardens or Winterthur or the Morris Arboretum. The flowers you filmed were beautiful as was Chelsea..thanks again for sharing!!

I’m with you Kirsten 💯 about crowds as it doesn’t bode for a good experience. Nonetheless absolutely stunning vlog.

I suppose that, after 2 years of being cooped up, everyone is longing to enjoy all the sights and shows. That river of people coming towards you, in between the tented vendors, was quite daunting! I’m sorry that the Flower Show crowds were too much for you, Kirsten, and that, after a long day, your meal experience did not come even close to meeting your expectations. What you and Joerg filmed was quite wonderful, Kirsten, and I enjoyed it. Stay well, and take care.🤩🌸

Kristen I truly can appreciate your apprehension with large crowds of people. I have become far less tolerant with age. That being said, I am so happy Joerg was able to film the show, it was amazing!! You are not the first KZbin artist to admit they were unable to film the flower show because of the large crowds. Chelsea in bloom was beautiful; Thank you for sharing. Maybe you could try another year when not in conjunction with the jubilee. As always, love your videos. 😊

I'm usually absolutely okay and I sometimes so enjoy the fast pace of a city but the crowds there were absolutely insane, honestly, they let in far too many people.

I tell you, if this hadn’t had commentary, we would never have suspected that your day was not as planned..! Everything was stunning..! The photography was lovely.. (thank you Joerg..!) The photography of the surrounding area was lovely as well… (thank you Kirsten..!) We received a wonderful cross section of the whole day. We never would have known it wasn’t ‘just perfect’..!! Sorry it didn’t go as well as expected for YOU..! I, for one, loved every minute. I’m like Kirsten… if there is a ‘sale’ and the prices are marvelous, but I know there will be massive amounts of people… I would rather pay full price than harangue with the masses to get a bargain. Too many people for me, too..! Thank you, Joerg for staying the course..!! God bless you both..!

[@KirstenJoerg]

The crowds were insane and the tickets weren't reduced for us, we paid full price but the organisation simply let in far too many people, we found it quite irresponsibly. Thank you so so much for watching Mia!

I live in the mid-south of the United States in Tenneessee. In the summer we have temps that can go 100' with 110' heat index. And little rain. I know you get put out with dreary days, but you have beautiful flowers to cheer you. Our little girls just suffer!

[@memmar1]

That was lovely seeing all those flowers. Thank you. I know what you mean on restaurant bad service. I could see in your face you were highly disappointed in your experience with them. I'm looking forward to many more videos. Take care. God bless you both.

[@helenrichards7866]

We both get overwhelmed by crowds, so don’t go to places like that. Thank you so very much for going and filming so that we can see so much…Your KZbin is wonderful ❤

[@jeanetteshawredden5643]

❤️ Kirsten I understand the intensity of crowds that is "too much" - and 😊 thank you Joerg for filming those gorgeous gardens to share with us. As usual, the colors & flowers in the video are creative & stunning! Saying hi from the mountainous desert region, Greeley CO, USA. Joerg 3 languages, amazing! LOVE the video - I'm glad you guys are "real". 👍

I like the pink chair too. The white garden was nice and the William Morris inspired garden.

[@jameswilliamson6665]

I love how honest you are, regarding the crowds at the show and the disappointment in the restaurant. Thank you 😊

[@carolefreeman2544]

How wonderful that you finally got to attend the Chelsea Flower Show in London. It might have been crowded, but at least the weather looked perfect and you got to see so much wonderful things. I’m a bit like you Kirsten, I do get a bit overwhelmed when a place is crowded and need to leave. At least Joerg filmed some lovely parts that you missed, but will be able to watch later of course. In the meantime, you also were able to film some of the lovely sights around you on your walk. Thank you for a very enjoyable video. Till the next time, take care as always 🤗😘🇨🇦

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much Carole! Unfortunately it was the busiest place we have ever come across (and we have been to many places in our lives so far). Jörg wanted to film and look at the gardens (which was very hard with the crowds) because we paid for the tickets but he didn't enjoy all the people at all. Now we know and won't be going again.

[@wendycollinge3537]

Well it was comforting to see that the best laid plans don't always work out, even for you and Joerg. Reminded me of some gong show moments in my own travels. Thanks for keeping it real. Love your videos, they are part of my life. Seriously 💞

[@KirstenJoerg]

Thanks so much Wendy!

[@QueenNoTeetha151]

Grateful for the flower show footage as I would never be able to cope with the crowds. Looks really beautiful there though!

[@rebeccarendle3706]

Wonderful vlog.. lovely you saw Chelsea in Bloom as well as the flower show. You both did a great job of filming both by "dividing and conquering." Thank you 😊.

[@cynthiapate9138]

Thank you both for a lovely video. Flowers express beauty. Thanks also for presenting reality....sometimes things don’t go as planned....and that’s ok, too. We live and learn.

[@debradevine3949]

Jorge your filming of the flower show was brilliant. It actually slowed my racing heart down. I can so relate to crowds and enjoyed the bonus of seeing the area. Once again you two are a delight to see and very much appreciate the time you take to bring us along.
