Busy day yesterday, took Chummy up to Studley Royal for a very pleasant amble along the river. Chum really enjoys splashing in the water, more otter than dog,we noticed that the edges of the water were swarming with tadpoles enjoying the warm sunshine.
The reason for being up that way was the annual visit to Larkhill nurseries, in my opinion the best and only place to buy summer bedding. If the usual garish tat is your bag you can indeed buy it there, but they also sell more unusual plants, great foliage, and excellent herb and vegetable seedlings all at fantastically low prices. I bought eight mixed bedding punnets, nine pots of herbs, two planters, three foliage plants and two tumbling tomatoes for well under eighty pounds, well worth the trip, I highly recommend them. Now I just have to find the time to get them all planted, it won't be today as it's the first session at Tate House.
