ICADs and more of North Yorks

Hi everyone, after being so late to show last weeks ICADS here I am with week 5, completed on Tuesday

I am still using my black and white illustration from my old gardening books and including washi tape, this time I have used nmainly neutral colours and included a little bit of a French reference.

I have a few more photos of North Yorkshire

One day we went to Helmsley Walled Garden. Beautiful gardens, it was featured in the 2020 version of The Secret Garden film. It also had a great cafe AND we got in for half price(we didn't know that there was an offer on for RHS members on Wednesdays!)

We got a great view of Helmsley Castle, although we chose not to visit while there was scaffolding up for restoration work.

Insect heaven - most of the flowers along this wall were covered in this way

I could go on...........I loved this garden.

We had coffee and cake at The Vine House cafe - scone for me and treacle and ginger tart for hubby.

It kept us going for a while!

Thanks for looking, Chris
