Welcome |

Tea Room Tours, Cathedral Flower Festival, Gourmet Tours and the Beatles. There’s lots to consider this week.
Check the number of tea rooms in your city; talk to the team that decorate your church every Sunday, a local florist or a member of the American Institute of Floral Designers; use the 5 five-star Grand Hotel, York as the cornerstone for a Gourmet Tour of England’s North Country and check out the unique Beatles tours I’m offering as Liverpool shore excursions. Review the video interviews, do some brief desk research, apply your imagination and let’s start an email conversation.

Putting the T in the Cotswolds |
|
I googled Tea Rooms in several North American cities and found some real beauties that must be immensely popular. Popularity means that the owners will have a personal following. Talk to them about a customised UK tour to the attractive villages and privately-owned castles and stately homes in the Cotswolds, with London at the end. Check out this conversation-starting tour. |

New Beatles Liverpool Shore Excursion |
|
This Liverpool shore excursion work well for groups and it includes a visit to the new Strawberry Field attraction, a former children's home that inspired The Beatles' famous song. I’ve also added the new Magical Beatles Museum and you can hear more about it by listening to James Shillinglaw’s video interview with Roag Best, brother of Pete Best, the Beatles’ original drummer. |

Chelsea and Chichester |
|
For green-fingered clients who have never been to the Chelsea Flower Show, chat to them about this itinerary which also includes some fascinating visits in and around the cathedral cities of Winchester and Salisbury. They will also get to spend a few hours among the inspired and fragrant arrangements at the Chichester Festival of Flowers (see more about it below) |

Realms Of Glory |
|
Displays at the Chichester Cathedral Festival of Flowers will be based on quotations from the Bible and presented as picturesque tableaux, gardens and pedestal arrangements including a ‘Garden of Eden’; the sailing of the ‘Mayflower’, a Heavenly Feast, and Angels in the Cloisters. Over 200 flower arrangers will transform the 900-year old Cathedral into a stunning visual array of beautiful floral arrangements |

Two Flower Festivals and the RHS Wisley Flower Show |
|
If your gardening and other contacts weren’t able to get away during the spring, they are sure to be impressed with this unique, early September tour which, among other things combines the RHS Wisley Flower Show with the Leeds Castle Festival of Flowers, and ‘Confluence’, a floral extravaganza that celebrate the 800th anniversary of the founding of Salisbury Cathedral on this site. |
