Malvhina

 There were three things I wanted to see when we were on holiday. The first was that rude flashing male carving which I put up last week and this is the second. The very beautiful 'Celtic' [I use that term loosely] princess Malvhina. She's the work of Rose Garrard and is fed by the three Malvern springs from Happy Valley, Rushey Valley and Ivy Scar Rock. By the time the water emerges it has been fully filtered and is safe to drink [apparently]. Her design is inspired by different periods in Great Malvern's history from the ancient standing stones to the Medieval statues and the Victorian Pre-Raphaelite movement. She'd look very much at home in the Chalice Well garden in Glastonbury. During the welldressing season she's often swathed in glorious garlands. Do have a look online if you want to see her in all her floral finery. She exudes a great sense of peace and calm in our harried world.

P.S. I shall aim to show you the third item which was on my wishlist in my next post.
