RHS Bridgewater

Time to leave the Lakes and drive back home after our week away. We decided to stop at the new RHS garden just outside Manchester on the way back, which in retrospect wasn’t the best decision because it made for an even longer journey home. But I’m glad to have visited it, albeit briefly - I probably won’t get another chance for a long time.

We eventually got home at about 6pm, feeling absolutely shattered, almost like I’d got jet lag. So after some dinner and checking on all the pots in the garden (which my neighbour had done a great job watering while we were away), it was time for an early night - another busy day tomorrow.
