A cool start to the day but there was no frost. The sky was blue and the sun shone for most of the day. It was a good day, but there were not many visitors in the Walled Garden. I spent all of the day working on the borders of the East Lawn and on the Herb border in the Orchard and Nuttery.

The weather forecast for tomorrow is heavy prolonged rain and because of this, the volunteer grass cutters and gardeners were on their machines, a day early to get the grass cut before it gets too wet.

The above images were taken before i started work this morning.
