Yellow Bird
During the Big Garden Birdwatch 2020 I was reminded of Lines Written in Early Spring by William Wordsworth. I couldn’t remember it all, but do recall The birds around me hopped and played, Their thoughts I cannot measure:- But the least motion which they made It seemed a thrill of pleasure. And so it […]
Blackbird Sculpture
Every year a Blackbird couple nest in the hedge that runs along the north boundary of my workshop area. (They’re the ones who pinch all my Gooseberries!). On occasion a pair have nested in the sheds. I’ve noticed over the last week another Blackbird nearby running and bobbing in threat display, and singing to […]
In the Workshop today – Little Bird
Around the workshop a restless Wren is busy darting about, and when the door is open comes in to check for lacewings and spiders to feed on. Although they’re highly territorial birds, during winter months, and especially when it is bitterly cold, they roost together, several dozen huddled together for warmth. It’s lovely to […]
Harrogate Spring Flower Show 2020

Brume Bird
Through the haar and murky short December days, this bird came. The bird sculpture, with its long tail high in the air is carved in Swaledale Fossil Marble (the same stone as Fossily Bird). Quite a fascination working this dense stone, seeing all the structures within – the pre-historic remains embedded in the rock […]

Festival of Winter
Though it doesn’t seem very winter-like, weatherwise anyway, I’m feeling now quite in the mood to celebrate the Winter Festival season. After the shortest day, there’s a feeling that we’re pulling away from the darker months, but of course it takes some time before we can notice a difference. For me, it is certainly […]
Marble Vases in Festive mood
There’s a very soft scent of pine resin lingering on my hands from selecting a few festive fronds from the garden – heavenly! For me these natural little touches of seasonal green and berries bring huge cheer and a warm Christmassy feel. Shown here in timelessly elegant and luxurious marble vases. View The British […]
