This evening it was lovely to stroll along the railway line near Thorp Arch when it had cooled down.

A Vintage Fair was being held at Scampston Hall in North Yorkshire today. There were far more vintage cars than we expected and many people added to the scene by wearing vintage clothes.
There was live music from the 40's, 50's and 60's and stalls selling a wide range of vintage items.
Away from the bustle of the fair we walked around the newly refurbished glasshouses which have the original gardeners' rooms and offices behind them.
We finished off the afternoon by strolling around the many different areas of the extensive walled garden.

Newby Hall is only 30 minutes away yet we have never fully explored the gardens there. We started with the water garden where the candlestick primulas were at their colourful best.
Finally we came across the grotto with its pretty waterfall. We didn't explore it fully but will certainly return.

This well-hidden walled garden was peaceful and sheltered.

We spent the afternoon at Burnby Hall near Pocklington. It was the last day of the tulip festival.

At the far end of the lake a new woodland garden is being created.

Thursday 19th March
At low tide the remains of the ramps where ships were once launched can be seen near our apartment.
At 10am the old part of town was still very quiet.
Low tide and low cloud at the mouth of the harbour.
The streets may be narrow but the bin lorry is still driven along here though it did look as if it was a narrower vehicle than the usual ones.
Outside the harbour wall the exposed sheets of rock and the pools made for interesting walking.
In the afternoon sun people were painting some of the larger boats and one is being hauled out of the water onto the trailer before joining the line up for maintenance work.
High tide found us back at the harbour mouth with just a distant haze limiting the blue sky.
