Remembering West Dean Gardens

27/08/2012

West Dean Gardens

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.

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…

West Dean Gardens

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, 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. There were trees wrapped in ribbon (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.
