Despite the awful weather the annual Sawrey Marrow Show was a great success, it was at the Tower Bank Arms for the first time and there was a good turnout.

A stunning morning but it has clouded in a bit, last guests just pulling into drive so we will get off for a walk shortly.
Buckle Yeat garden is still doing well and the baskets are fantastic, we grew some Cosmos from seed and they have been a great success with lots of flowers and more to come.

We had a walk the other day and this black cloud was looming so we had to make a quick change of route and head back to Buckle Yeat to rescue the towels on the line before the impending downpour, it soon passed and the sun came out.
