Can it be ..

The BFG!

Yes here at RHS Harlow Carr gardens in Harrogate.

You may just be able to make out a small child through the foliage which will give you an indication of his size.

He has come from an RHS flower show in Cardiff and is on his way to RHS Tatton Park flower show later this month.

I thought he was rather splendid with a flower under his arm and a spade in his hand.

Lovely flowers here today too especially the Candelabra Primulas and Astillbes along side the stream.

It stayed fine all day though it was a bit overcast and of course we had a lovely lunch in Betty's where we actually sat outside on the terrace!
