Phew what a busy few days! On Friday Mum, Fran and I took a rare opportunity to walk around Harlow Carr and admire the autumn colours, we especially enjoyed the little display in the summerhouse. At the old bath house we had a sneak preview of the apple festival display as I'm a member of the Northern Fruit Group, it was nice to be able to introduce my family to Diana who was helping to set up the exhibition. Every single apple group in the picture is a different variety and they stretch all around the room. If you have the chance it is well worth a visit this half term and the room smells heavenly! Lunch at Bettys followed of course which made it a very pleasurable outing, it's just a shame we don't manage to do it more often. Norton Conyers was again bathed in sunshine on Saturday which made the task of tying in the raspberry canes very enjoyable, far easier in the warmth than if you have to do it with frozen stiff fingers! The garden was looking so enchanting I took some more pictures to share with you all. Dave picked me up at 4 o'clock and whizzed me home for a quick shower and then we journeyed to the Milton's house in North Ferriby where an evening of live music and good food followed. Many thanks for your hospitality guys and good luck with your new venture, I'll plug it on the blog when you're up and running! Now we are off to the east coast for a few days breathing space so for the rest of the week P&C will be bringing you sultry seascapes!""one red leaf the last of it's clan, that dances as often as dance it can, hanging so light and hanging so high, on the topmost twig that looks up at the sky"
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
