    Just got back and 'burnt to a crisp' is the most accurate description I could give. Never seen owt like it. It's beyond yellow grass - some parts are virtually desert. Watering going on around the Palm House and the contrast with other areas is weird.

    Mr tykester. Forgot my phone so no photos.

    Kettlewell - Don't miss the Lily House. And the Minke House of course.

    In all seriousness I did go there a couple of years ago & it was superb. I tied it in with a trip to Windsor with this girl I was seeing at the time. Probably the best gardens I've been to. Well worth the admission money, unlike most games at Oakwell last season, even on a ST.
