Harlow Carr is the Royal Horticultural Society Garden just outside Harrogate, a town which is home to Betty’s Tea Room and a Sainsbury’s supermarket that has a sushi bar. In Yorkshire the only dead fish you normally see has been fried in batter.
Just a few photos for now.

It’s a couple or years or so since I last went to Harlow Carr. Nice therefore to see your photos. The statue of the worm (?) made me smile.

It has feet so I think it’s a caterpillar. Put it down to poor photography. 🙂

The sultana scone looks promising. We need to know whether it lived up to the promise.

Very nice photos – I like the caterpillar! Betty’s cakes might be a little over-rated. A cousin of mine sends my mother Betty’s mince pies every Christmas; okay but nothing special.

Look forward to the scone report… Harlow Carr is lovely – ABAB’s take on it here, if you’re interested http://bitaboutbritain.com/harlow-carr/ I confess to never having heard of it until I was bullied into visiting 🙂
