Two Jabs and Garden Progress

 Yesterday was J2 Day for both of us.  We had to travel to Skipton this time for another superbly organised military-style operation at a location with a recent history.   It is called Gateway House and it is a vast white-elephant of a green-field building on the Skipton By Pass.   Built by the financial sector (I am being discreet) very recently and now totally empty:

















The ends of the building have massive arrays of solar panels which tilt automatically for maximum sunshine
































The ten minutes of recovery time could be spent on the sun deck, overlooking Airedale









Garden progress?  Yes, big time.  With the help of two local lads, Connor and Jack, we have extended an existing but rather ectopic overgrown flower bed right along the top of the banking by our boundary wall to the rear of Terminal 2.

In some of the more barren and remote bits of ground we have transplanted self-seeded buddleia bushes which positively thrive on former railway land.  They spread too and the butterflies love them.  We shall see.
