Jesus speaking: ‘ These things I have told you, that My joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.’ John 15:11
What are ‘these things’?
A story about Jesus being the vine and people being branches. Jesus in us and us in Jesus and in this way bearing much fruit.
John 15: 5,8 (Sandy’s summary)
This is a world-class alternative floral art show. This year, 2025 , is their 20th anniversary. The streets of Chelsea are transformed with fresh flowers. Restaurants, retailers, and hotels compete for coveted1 prizes with displays of fresh flowers on the street. It is on from 19 – 25 May.
Let us walk into the streets of Chelsea. The flowers I show are fresh, tested with a little touch. Press on the photographs to see how special they are. Orchids and roses for colour.
Now for yellow and white.
Arrangements welcoming one into a space for fashion.
Large street displays
Smaller displays belonging to shops and restaurants.
Some close ups of flowers
We were all distracted, and many were in festival spirit.
Then off the street and another free exhibition of British artists: Tim Fowler, Mr Brainwash, and Lee Ellis.
Some paintings another type of stimulation.
A pleasure to view, and then back into the street, a beautiful festival of flowers grown to perfection.
A few thoughts about festival.
‘For the wise person, every day is a festival.’ Plutarch
‘Spiritually, life is a festival, a celebration. Joy is the essence of life.’ Agnivesh
‘ Life is a happy thing, a festival to be enjoyed rather than a drudgery to be endured.’ Luci Swindoll
Take care,
Sandy 🙂
