tree house 1
Sweltering hot Sunday afternoon. Invitation ( very welcome! ) to Art & Garden at this amazing sprawling "thinking-out-the-box" garden cum river cum forest. That's where the "buts" come in. The world and his wife all liked the idea, too. Lovely sleepy tucked-away village..so nowhere to park. Managed it eventually. Longish walk. Ok going hill but not so good trekking back up. Wandering and chatting was a joy..plants for sale..painted silk acrves, jewellery, sculpture..tea and cakes.. and further out..a rope bridge across the river and long snaking steel steps and rails zig zagging up high bankings taking me out of the sunlight into high rise dappled woodland..and ..whoaaa, suddenly, as the path lightened..this fantastic tree house, weathered and "right" amongst the trees. How could I not stop and draw. Total peace at the start..then zillions of equally eye-dazzled familes oohing and aaahing and banging into me as I blocked their path. Gave up at the end..but was very happy!!!
