We have installed a rustic cleft wood fence from oak sourced from Ruskin’s home, Brantwood. Adding to safety, it also provided a subject to be included for artists drawing and painting the scene beyond.

The Pond area beyond will continue to be developed by our Gardeners. They have plans, and we are now looking for a wooden rowing boat to bob up and down on the water. We did try a coracle, but that was too circular for artists to draw easily, and the prow of a rowing board, or the flat stern, would add a bit of interest to any picture. If anyone can help, please get in touch…

Meanwhile…
