[Leica] Repost: IMGs: Bloom 2018

[Douglas Barry]

Yes, Tina, there are many public gardens here in Ireland that can be 
enjoyed without hassle. This show gets about one hundred thousand 
visitors which means a lot of cars. We went by train, tram and shuttle 
bus which removed a lot of the traffic nightmare, but meant I passed up 
on plant buying "opportunities" :-) Carrying them back would have been 
the last straw.
