round and round the garden...

At the end of June I scoured the garden for flowers and foliage to create this moodboard. I took the camera with me, I like to record the garden every now and then, we work so hard in it and it's nice to look back at the changes we've made, the plants we've planted, what has flourished and what has not. 

Do you remember that rhyme?  Round and round the garden like a teddy bear, one step, two step tickle you under there. My nan used to say it to me, drawing circles with her finger around my palm, before tickling me under the arm! 

memorial

Whilst in Berlin we visited this place, the Holocust Memorial. I'd seen images of the concrete columns designed by architect Peter Eisenman and Buro Happold online before and was curious to see them, I hadn't anticipated quite what an effect this place would have on me. Just standing amongst the columns was incredibly moving, they have an imposing presence unlike that of any structure I've encountered before. Add to that feeling the historical story that unfurls downstairs in the information centre and you can't not be moved. I left in tears, deeply saddened by the horrors man is capable of. Thinking about it now, I'm moved again.
