It was my wedding anniversary on the 3rd August , we have been married ten years. One of the places we revisit as it has so many happy memories for us of when we were ‘courting’, taking Orla there as a baby and toddler, is West Dean Gardens. I include here an article I wrote for UK Handmade about West Dean, some images and a slide show. We went to Cornwall for our anniversary this year, but we are going to West Dean next month for the Apple Affair.

I didn’t have time to do one last month, but I have made time this month because I particularly wanted to use one of my favourite lavender shots from my excursion to Lordington Lavender last month. Two sizes are available, 1290×1080 and 1366×768. Right click, open the image in a new tab and then set as desktop background. Enjoy…

Yesterday Luke, Orla and I went to West Dean Gardens, in Singleton, West Sussex. One of my favourite places, and for Luke and I, a very special and important place. I took my Canon naturally, and though we didn’t have long there, I managed to get some decent shots, my favourites of which I feature here. To see the whole collection, go view the Flickr set, and if you wish to know more about West Dean Gardens, then you can go read the article I wrote for UK Handmade. Oh, and the bottom image, of the tree wrapped in ribbon (more shots of that can be viewed on the Flickr set) is an ongoing project by Magenta Gang. Magenta is from Korea and currently studying a post grad Fine Art course at West Dean and has been working on the tree project since June.
