Only Dead Fish do ;-)

This can be seen near the entrance to the Bamboo Labyrinth at Alnwick Garden:

"On entering The Labyrinth there is a boulder with an encryption saying “only dead fish swim with the stream” a statement epitomising the design philosophy behind The Alnwick Garden. The four tonne boulder was hand picked from a hillside in Hulne Park place in Alnwick from an area known as the Bowling Green."

The Duchess of Northumberland adds:

“We wanted to create a place beauty which could be enjoyed by visitors throughout the year, whether it is on a dark winter’s day or summer evening. It has been created in one of the windiest parts of The Garden which means the bamboo will always be moving and rustling. We hope the combination of movement and sound will present an extraordinary vision for our visitors.

The Labyrinth also presents an unusual form of puzzle. Once you have started, the task is always to keep moving smoothly forwards, and never turn back. The whole experience is designed to amuse you and I think children will love it.”

Quotes from the Alnwick Garden Website.

My World

I thought I would change the layout of the 'My World' page on my website. That page was always intended to add random thoughts and current topics. But the way it was laid out didn't really allow for this which meant that after I created the page it just languished there without any new comments.

I think this will be a much better way to add these sort of things, I hope you like it! I have added a few images I have taken this year just to give it a bit of interest to start off with :-)

I was going to style it so it looked more like the rest of the pages, but I thought leaving it the way it is might be a bit easier on the eye!
