[jules' pics] Let's Topiary

Levels Hall Topiary Garden


Working from home, one no longer has to sit in front of the computer waiting for the end of the day. The disadvantage is neglecting to play with photos, including neglecting to blog them. But the advantage is that instead one can go cycling, or swimming, or shopping, or do some gardening, or even watch other people doing gardening. When it is not raining in these parts, it is important to seize  the moments. Two days ago we visited the famous topiary gardens at Levens Hall on the way to doing a LaneQuest in the south Lake District. Must have done something right as we accidentally won (well, joint 1st) the teams category. This is worth remarking upon as we very rarely come 1st in anything.

I had to look up the meaning of topiary.

I prefer, vastly, zen gardens.

I'll tell them to dig it all up and install some gravel and stones then :-)

Or, DBB could be a bit more zen in his attitude! :-) :-) :-) [accepting of the status quo, living in the moment etc...]

Sometimes you just have to let go...

Anyway, they surely both qualify as vegetative taxidermy... (http://spillly.com/mad-in-japan-an-entertaining-read-via-brodiegal/)
