I have spoken in the last posts of staying in Manorbier with Philip and Heather Sutton and in a previous one have written about their idyllic garden. Not only are they surrounded by trees and shrubs and flowers and a vegetable patch but they also look out on their own meadow...and from the top of the garden you can even see the sea...
Here are a few images of the garden on a sunny September day- starting off with Phil sitting in it:
An Artist- and child of Artists who were mad about trees- I have always been mad about trees. The stories of my involvement with trees will gradually emerge- that is the purpose of the blog. I get such intense joy from the visual experiences of my surroundings- amazing trees/ birds/ flowers/ landscapes/ seascapes/ buildings- that I want others to experience that joy too.
After living with British trees all my life, I was overwhelmed with the beauty and strangeness of the trees in Santa Monica when I first spent some months here in 2004. I immediately wanted to make a home in Santa Monica in order to translate these trees into Art. That’s what I have been trying to do ever since, as I travel backwards and forwards between the US and the UK.
