This is 'John's Garden' ~ [i wish it was mine] ~ only open a few times a year, the planting is beautiful, there is space, colour, light and lovely sculptures. truly an amazing garden

it certainly is ~ a master of planning beautifully; an artist in the gardening sense i think ~ do go if you ever get the chance

Just discovered this picture by accident, as GoY is running a bit slowish, tried again, as advised on a notice, and found another delightful modern statue. He probably wasn't there long Mark and Sticki, the skateboard probably comes out at night while no one's looking.

I like your sense of humour dorjac! And your imagination!
Something isn't right with GoY at the moment - several things it won't do!
