Well this was a bit unexpected....!! It certainly gave us all a start when we saw the alligator climbing out of the bottom pond until we realised he was not real. He is part of this years garden sculpture which started on the 8th September and goes on to the 30th. There are lots of other "concerning" things around the garden - dogs and cats and a horse being amongst them.
Lots of people are walking around and admiring these unmoving creatures - it is taking some of the attention away of us at the moment but fortunately none of them like bread so we come into our own at this point.
There are some more interlopers into the garden now - 4 baby chickens have taken over residence in the cage on the lawn, (the crested ducklings have started to refuse to go in at night and declared independence like the rest of us at last!). I hear tell that the chicks only here for another couple of weeks before they go to a loving home (one of the staff in the gift shop).
We had another lovely wedding here just before the sculptures went out - a 1966 camper van arrived with the bride and groom - it was rather special.
We also had a choir singing in the garden during the canapé reception and photographs, they were very good - the Bride even joined them as she is part of the group. Once again the whole thing was beautiful especially the Bride and Groom. We even got fed by the bridesmaids - what could be better?
