Overnight stay in the New Forest.

Image
Matthew had given Brian the gift of a B&B stay for two.  We decided on a B&B in the New Forest.  Originally we planned two or three nights away, but Brian has not been too well and he did not want to chance being away from home for more than one night.  The B&B was near Hythe and after our pub meal we went into Hythe.  The sun was just going down but I managed to get a few photo's. Can you spot the train? A smiley cruise liner in the harbour

Sculpture Garden at Birtley House - -April 2017

The Sculpture Garden has been an annual feature at Birtley House for the past nine years and seems to get bigger and better each year.  It is always such a pleasure to walk around the pleasant gardens in the early evening looking at some amazing work by talented artists.   I worked at Birtley House for eighteen years, so it is additionally pleasurable for me to return.   It was a lovely evening when Marie and I went to the Opening Evening.   Here are just a few of the sculptures - the ones I would quite like to own, but are out of my pocket, and some are quirky and funny.    Some we did not understand at all, and I did not photograph them and now wish I had.  for instance - a line of nine or ten glass poles against a hedge, and another was about twenty or thirty coloured glass fish like shapes hanging from poles.   Very odd! Anyway, I hope you enjoy these photo's - not great as they were taken in the evening so light was fading. View across to the lake The Sur
