Harrogate
The conference is over and this afternoon I had the chance to have a stroll around town.
Harrogate is an old spa town with spring water which has a high sulphur content. I sampled some in the Pump Room Museum and it was… distinctive! I bought a small bottle so that I can share the experience with the family.

The Royal Baths are now a rather nice Chinese Restuarant which we visited on Monday evening.
There is a lot of parkland around Harrogate and walking through it we came to RHS Harlow Carr. These are some lovely gardens which provided a few hours of exploring the plants and the “Gardens through the ages” walk.
I had a cup of Bettys tea and enjoyed a Yorkshire Fat Rascal, a scone like cake which was very nice indeed.
There is obviously much more to Harrogate than I could enjoy during this visit, but I’m sure I’ll be back again one day.
