A lovely sculpture made from oak, commemorating the completed restoration of the Millennium Gardens, which include the hornbeam cloisters.
Derelict greenhouses
By one of the rivers

Do you remember this ? I left it longer than I should have to strain it, it should only have been a few weeks. But I strained it recently - first through a strainer, then through muslin, then through coffee filters. Even after all that it still as some sediment, but it smells heavenly, like essence of Christmas cooking - mincemeat, plum-puddings, all those lovely spicy treats. My sister tried it as an aperitif when they were here over the weekend, and enjoyed it.

I was going to ask if those were the crocuses that saffron comes from but I looked it up and I guess you wouldn't want to ingest any of that - though they are such a pretty carpet.
That sculpture is very intriguing and the placement in front of the brick opening is wonderful. I see the shape repeated in the base - another wonderful detail.
I hope you have an enjoyable holiday. It's such a beautiful time of the year.
Ooooo, I love that beautiful colchicum and the sculpture is so unique and fabulous! Beautiful nature photos, Sabrina! Have a wonderful holiday!
