RHS Harlow Carr at Hallowe'en

Partly for Jenny's birthday, partly to take advantage of the hallowe'en events, we all went to Harlow Carr for the day. They had a monster trail and boggart workshop for the fosterlings, while we enjoyed a woodland crafts (coppicing and woodwork) display, and the plants. Obviously.

The children spent a while playing in the tree house playground, which I rather liked, too (though I wasn't allowed on...)

 We were very restrained, and didn't buy any plants (just a small Christmas decoration: more on that in a month, perhaps).
