Borrowing the Landsape

Autumn is good time of year to borrow the surrounding landscapes. The leaves have fallen from the tress and the views out of the garden in to neighboring spaces and well beyond are that much easier to appreciate.

The garden at the top is bordered by a small patch of woodland between us and the cemetery. It is a wildlife haven and the deer are always that much more in evidence at this time of the year. The fallen leaves, skeletal strucures and enticing disarray are an enthralling part of the seasonal calendar.

Across the valley the landscape is also becoming cloaked in the autumnal mists. It is hard to realize that this side of the valley was once spoil heaps and quarry waste. It is now well and truly reclaimed by the Pennines.
