The Leura Gardens Festival has come and gone.The weather was very windy and cool for the first few days but still the tickets sales were very good and there should be at least as much money raised for the Blue Mountains Anzac Memorial Hospital as last year. We host the music in our gardens at lunchtime throughout the

festival and so one of the highlights for me involved the music played or sung under the Linden tree once the weather had calmed down a bit. The Linden will not come into leaf until the end of this month.

Another highlight of the festival is all the gardening minded visitors including Fiona and Gillian who visited while the weather was still fairly chilly.
