It had been several weeks since we first visited Craithes, so we went back to see the changes in what was blooming in the garden and forest. A lovely summer day, with enough breeze to keep you cool as you walked. First we took the path into the forest, then visited the gardens.

We then went into the gardens. Such a change in the blooms, especially the Sea Holly. While standing under the gumdrop tree, a couple asked where we were from. They were on holiday from England, and couldn't imagine anyone staying for 5 weeks in the area. We assured them there was more to see than even could be done in that time. They had come up to play golf for a week, then tour around a bit. Different traveling styles!
