The long summer days have given way to autumn and a spectacular show of colour at the Yorkshire Arboretum. The 120 acre garden of trees, located opposite Castle Howard, is already awash with swathes of red, gold and yellow foliage even though some trees have yet to reach the pinnacle of their autumn display.
Yorkshire Arboretum Director John Grimshaw said “The trees here are glorious in every season but this autumn has been quite spectacular so far and we expect the display to last well into November. Even trees that don’t usually colour well are amazing”.
Important upgrade work will be taking place on the Slingsby village website server on Wednesday 21st October.
The upgrades to the server software will provide better security for the website and and improve existing functionality.
Hopefully the disruption should be minimal but it is possible that the Slingsby village website may be offline for several hours.
UPDATE: There may also be disruption to the village website on Monday 26th October.
A charity walk in aid of the British Heart Foundation takes place tomorrow (Sunday 4th October) starting at the Grapes Inn in Slingsby. Just turn up to take part. Details can be found on the poster above.
