Since last weekend we've had a fair amount of the wet stuff in this little pocket of Sussex. It seems like it's been pouring for days now, but I've carried out a little experiment this week to see what's been really going on weather wise. From last Saturday until today we've actually had as many dry days with a good level of sunshine on some of those. Probably like many others we've discovered that we have got a couple of slipped tiles and a leak in the garage so we're in the queue waiting for a roofer to come out to us. I expect that they're rather busy at the moment. In the meantime I don't think I'd have cared what the weather was doing when I came across this really unusual sundial on a recent visit to Penshurst Place in Kent.

This is 'The Archer' and is the work of Robert Rattray. Let's hope he's kept busy this weekend🌞

I love that archer!
ReplyDeleteOur roofer finally fixed our roof on Monday - he managed to find some slate tiles at a reclamation yard, spent five hours replacing the old ones and only charged us £100. He's a superstar! x
Ours is coming this week hopefully. Huzzah Arilx
DeleteThat's inspired a train of thought for a wood carving.
ReplyDeleteYou are so talented with all your different crafts

That decoration looks like he's ready to shoot someone. The shadow behind him looks as if he's impaled himself on his own arrow. Quite a metaphor within the picture. You cannot inflict pain on others without bringing it on yourself.
