The weather for the holiday has remained stunningly dry and settled, although we have had rather a cool breeze, and the for-casters are warning of a sharp drop in temperature for the next few nights, so gardeners beware!
We went to Saltburn on Friday and were successful in finding the only miserable weather in the whole of the kingdom, but it was quiet and we had a cracking pub lunch at The Ship. The dog ate lots of sand and was sick in the car, so all in all we had a great time.
On Sunday I visited the plant fair at Harlow Carr and bought two Asters, Little Carlow which has an AGM (I've been wanting that one for some time) and Vasterival, they should bring some much needed colour to my late summer border.
The kids are back to school tomorrow for at least a month,. thank goodness, it has been such a long break we are all craving the return to normality. Bilton gala to be endured yet though, I wonder if they will have a plant stall?.........
