My sculpture garden at Loch Eriboll was born ten thousand million years ago - for the past 36 years it has been lying dormant and uncared for - I became part of the 16 acres croft in spring 1999 - it is now beginning to evolve - slowly growing - I first fenced it from the road to the shores of Loch Eriboll - so as to keep the sheep and deer out - now the grass, flowers and trees are growing again - in abundant - new birds arriving - the latest incomer a pheasant. - A small native wood has been planted - and some immigrants as well - a small scattering of fruit trees and fruit bushes - apple, plum, cherry, pears, currants, raspberries, blueberries etc - even sweet chestnut and walnuts - yes, I am a super optimist - little by little other sculptures are emerging through the long grass, heather and flowers - running across the hill, hiding behind rock and heather or bowing to the sky sending beams of light out in to the universe and mirroring the landscape - even the rhubarb and potatoes look happy guarded by a two legged creature and on sunny days my bees are enjoying the new growth of the garden.
