I was up bright and early again this morning and out with M & G for 6.45am for the morning walk on the Barff, It was still dark when we left the house but by the time we arrived on the Barff it was bright enough to see without a torch and the sun was just rising over towards St Wilfred’s church in Brayton. The sunrise this morning was nothing spectacular no sooner had the sun popped its head over the horizon than the cloud came down and that was that, certainly till later in the day anyway. It has been a bit of a hectic day really today, after the morning walk and breakfast we headed over to Harrogate, I had a business meeting update which fortunately only lasted just over an hour, so from Harrogate it is just a short drive over to the gardens at RHS Harlow Carr where we had a pleasant walk followed by brunch at Betty’s. The Autumnal colours were just beginning to show in the gardens which as usual looked amasing. Today there was an Autumnal food and craft fair in the grounds with small tents and shelters of all shapes and sizes. There was quite a variety of small businesses and enterprises wanting to show their exhibits as well as several tempting you in with food and alcohol all very appetising. It was great to see such a wide and diverse range of business and all from Yorkshire. I was extremely impressed with some of the wood carvers both the hand carvers and the chain saw carvers they produced some nice looking items and the willow weavers had a wide selection of baskets and ornaments on show too. After our walk around the gardens and stalls we headed in to Bettys for a late brunch before the journey back home. I must remember to pop in again later next week when I hope the light will be a little better.
