STATUES AND THINGS

Right from the start we have tried to introduce sculpture and things into the garden - of course we cannot afford a ten ton Henry Moore - but we have a small boy reading a book, a falcon from L., three birds from Adam Booth, blacksmith of Kirkpatrick Durham and this crouching figure by Rebecca Buck which we bought from Workshop

Wales near Fishguard.

There are also the willow tunnel, several rough hurdles made from hedge trimmings and a curved living willow wall by the pond, a sheep skull in a rhododendron, a rhododendron pruned like a shelter and my cloud tree - a hawthorn somewhat topiarised.

We do not have much stone in the garden other than that I have dug from the ground so rock structures are out unless we buy some in.

At the bottom by the pond is a boardwalk made of scaffolding planks which have been deemed not fit for use by the firm down North Lonsdale Road.

Always in the lookout for stuff I still have to try and decide what to do with an assortment of poles and so on. Stuff welcome.
