How green is Pannal

We have been walking in the Dales. Swaledale in particular. Weather not too bad. it rained every morning but cleared up at lunchtime and the days were warm and sunny apart from the day we went to Hawes where there was a lot of rain. We stayed at Leyburn in a log cabin and it was very good and very well equipped.  The wild flowers were beautiful and the fields and hedgerows of buttercups were amazing. Many photos were taken. Pannal seemed to have suffered worse than the Dales from rain and it is very green. Our garden has extremely tall plants first time I have seen them so tall. not a lot of colour as all the plants are bedraggled. The garden centres must be having a hard time of it as if one buys plants it is sometimes difficult to get them planted. What an awful summer and we are told it will not get any better. Such a shame as no one is out walking around the village or sitting outside The Harwood or The Black Swan. Children are not on their bikes or in the rec. Soon be the school summer holidays perhaps, just perhaps the sun will come out.
