Last year I ended up at Wisley Gardens for their taste of Autumn festival mostly by accident. This year I planned it. The weather hasn't been great (thanks to Storm Brian) but there were sunny spells and I only had to take cover a few times.

I enjoyed the greenhouse - it was so nice to be warm but it did take some time for my camera to de-steam.

They also have a lovely bonsai tree walk. All of the trees are between 30 and 80 years old.
The stalls area wasn't as busy as last time, I guess due to the weather. And they did have the apple selection. Last year they had stalls of loads of different apples to taste and buy but this year their orchards were hit with disease so they couldn't. Still they had lots of different stalls (an amazing number selling cheese!) so plenty to buy.
I added to my Christmas presents (I started early this year) and left after noon. I was planning to stay for lunch but the lunch stalls weren't there this year either. So I spent the afternoon (and rest of the weekend) relaxing.
Today I won second place in our data Bake off. (I was never going to win over the syrup soaked donuts!) So I'll take second happily!
