Records to tumble at Tatton [flower] show
A show newcomer among 18 garden designers is Sarah Lynch, who has created the Owl and the Pussycat garden.
Sarah, 36, who lives in Cheshire, is taking part in a flower show for the first time and her entry promises to be one of the most theatrical designs this year.
Her garden for the Anthony Nolan Trust, supported by Cheshire Building Society, will provide visitors with a magical journey through Edward Lear's verse of 1871, and incorporates the famous pea green boat.

'Winged Migration' simply soars
The movie's [Winged Migration by Jacques Perrin] poetry, not its mechanics, will galvanize most viewers and cause them to look at birds less complacently, maybe for the rest of their lives. It's a robust, multifaceted, gloriously accessible poetry, in turn exciting, contemplative and giddy. Moments of this movie made me as unreasonably happy as reading Edward Lear's great nonsense poem 'The Pelican Chorus' with its 'Herons and gulls, and Cormorants black,/ Cranes and flamingoes with scarlet back,/Plovers and Storks and Geese in Clouds,/Swans and Dilberry Ducks in crowds./Thousands of birds in wondrous flight!'
