A week we won’t forget
A week that started with a little gardening and a walk at Temple Newsam with Ruby soon took an unexpected turn.
🐾 After taking in a hungry stray cat, a bite led to a serious infection, several hospital visits and surgery.
Thankfully, Sue is back home and recovering, with the hospital team keeping a close eye on her finger.
Join us for an unusual week of allotment preparations, time out with Ruby, and an unexpected reminder of just how quickly things can change.
🌱 In this video:

Thanks for watching, and we hope to see you again soon for more gardening, allotment life and adventures with Ruby.

Autumn afternoon walk at Nostell Priory with Ruby
Join us for a lovely autumn afternoon walk at Nostell Priory with Ruby. 🍂🐾
After a week of poor weather and hospital visits, Sue’s finger is healing well, and Thursday brought some welcome sunshine. We took the opportunity to enjoy a walk around the lake, admire the autumn colours and see how the swans and their cygnets were getting on.
With the cows moved out of the top meadow, Ruby could enjoy the full walk, finishing the afternoon with one of her favourite activities — a lively game of chase!
Thanks for watching, and we hope you enjoy our walk at Nostell Priory.
