Sark Part Two

[curiouswombat]

The second part of the post of my daughter's pictures of Sark are below the cut. They feature the garden of the Seigneurie, the traditional home of the feudal lord of the island. There are a couple of lovely pictures. You can tell it has been a nice autumn down in the Channel Islands when you look at the pictures and remember she took them on 6th October.



This is the Seignurie -



And here is a tower in the wall surrounding the gardens -



And the dove-cot, which I love dearly -



Now come through into the garden -









I'm thinking that fuchsia must have made her feel quite at home!







And finally - a close-up of that rather beautiful metal hinge on the door through to the garden -

I think she has a very good eye, too. And that garden is certainly very photographic.

The Wicker Man is not a comparison D-d would make - it's not really part of her consciousness - to her it felt more 'local shop for local people' which is from the TV show The League of Gentlemen. Same concept, though!

My memory of the decision to actually devolve some power from the Seigneur or the Dame is that the real local people mainly weren't at all bothered - they were mainly happy enough as things were; it was the incomers who made the most fuss to have more say...
