The Bull at the Gate

The other day I was at South Hill Park. I noticed the sculpture at the front entrance.

I love this bull who has driven his horns through the brick wall and is caught.

This photo and the next two are from 2016

In 2016, I took part in an art event. My intervention was hanging red flags along the spine...Red Flag to a Bull. The Bull

The Bull at the Gate was made by the sculptor, Marcel Baettig.

As I came out of the entrance, the shape of the ivy caught my eye.

It is well on its way to growing into the shape of a bull, How fun!

past 1800 with beasties

On Saturday, besides being my birthday, I reached 1800 blog posts. Cool! Most of it about things I have been making.

And things which I find interesting/inspiring.

So...a few beasts and gargoyles from Oakley Court, where we had dinner on Friday night (It is very posh! But we ate in the Scullery Restaurant which is less posh, but still more posh than most anywhere else we have been.) My husband's work were doing a voucher during July if you posted a photo of you and your companions at the place where you had a meal, so we decided to do it for my birthday.

Anyway - Beasts and other statuary...

Love these close-ups of the beast below
and its companion on the other side of the door!
