Still Life



Pashley Manor was built in 1543. It remains today a family home which sits in eleven acres of gardens surrounded by glorious uninterrupted countryside on the borders of Sussex and Kent

It currently holds the coveted Christie's Garden of the Year award and is described as being one of the finest gardens in England.

The tulips which put on such a wonderful display last month have now faded and it will be a few weeks before the roses come into their glory

Right now the gardens are providing a stunning backdrop to an exhibition of about 150 pieces of modern sculpture all of which are trying to attract purchasers

Take a walk with me and look at just a few of the pieces I would buy If I could afford them
