Meanwhile, a long way from my usual locations in the American southwest is a shot from Angelsey Abbey, a National Trust property near Cambridge, on the eastern side of England.
My parents were frequent visitors to England; after my mom passed away, my dad wanted to make one more trip to visit some of their favorite places. They loved going to National Trust properties, so we saw several of them. Although this place was not one of my favorites, I did like this statue which oversees a portion of the formal gardens.

PS: I realize that you didn’t ask, but I am going to tell you anyway. My favorite National Trust properties were the Stowe Gardens (featured on the blog here) and the Wimpole Estate, which made a blog appearance here.

Something about a pockmarked statue that resonates for me, surviving time, I guess, but not without scars and blemishes. You continue to inspire me, Melinda (if you haven’t noticed) – muchas gracias!

John, thank for for this exceedingly generous comment. I have admired YOUR work for a long time, and to know that you find inspiration in what I do means more to me than I can say. Thank you.

Been there! I remember this statue. Although I have to say I was somewhat disappointed overall. We went to see the Snowdrops which were impressive but the place was swamped by other people – all doing the same thing.

My friend Carlos and I believe that when WE want to go someplace (like to see snowdrops at Angelsey Abbey, for example) everyone else is supposed to stay at home until we’re done. That’s not too selfish, is it?

It’s not selfish at all. I just want to shout: ‘would everyone go home please’.
