These sculptures made me smile when I saw them at RHS Rosemoor in the autumn, but they also have a touch of January about them, so let’s have a light-hearted look at how they sum up January for me.
This one has clearly reached at least the 44th of the month, and realises that there’s still at least half the month left…
And there’s a mascara mishap or two happening. And it still amuses me how the plant is growing around the sculpture, adding a modesty covering that couldn’t have been better placed.
Further along our jaunt around the garden this small sculpture caught my eye. I’ve said before I’d happily hibernate in January, though with slightly more clothes on that this statue, and hopefully without the ornithological audience.
Clearly time has moved on for the sculpture below, and it’s obviously the 91st of January, which calls for a celebration…
….The only thing though about the end of January, is the start of February - and well, that’s not usually exactly full of Spring.
Roll on March, I say - and when January gets to me (as it often does) then I’ll remember to dig out this post, as it’d have to be pretty bad for these not to make me smile.
