Thursday 20th October

As the skies were clear and blue, we went for a drive to Sutton Bank and walked along the top to the white horse.

There were lots of gliders and they were being towed up by an aeroplane. As we walked past we saw half a dozen getting airborne.

Saturday 15th October

This afternoon we enjoyed a walk in the sunshine around Fewston Reservoir. It is one of our favourite walks and there were lots of other people there too.



Wednesday 12th October

As we had not been to Golden Acre Park for a long time, we decided to go there this afternoon.

We followed part of the Leeds Country Way before we entered the park and enjoyed walking through the woods.

 We came upon Peter's Pond, a large stretch of water part way along the trail.

In Golden Acre the gardens were suprisingly colourful for October and some of the old miniature railway line is being restored.

The Dahlia Society have held their trials here since 1986 and it makes for a lovely display.

Higher up the Chrysanthemum Society have a beautiful array of cutting and bedding varieties.

Tuesday 11th October

We enjoyed a stroll around Knaresborough today.



Sunday 9th October

We went to Fountains Abbey for a walk around the lakes.

The trees are just starting to show their autumn colours.

There were pheasants everywhere, even on top of the hedges.

We enjoyed some weak sunshine as we walked back towards the abbey.

Saturday 17th September

Harrogate Flower Show today. Lots to see and plenty of variety.

Wednesday 15th September

We vited Harlow Carr to see the Britain in Bloom photographic exhibition set out in the garden and to enjoy the warm September sunshine.
