Viaduct in Eynsford, Kent.

Other things I did in the last week of December, according to Twitter:

December 31st: Played in the snow at Kew, while taking a break from triffid hunting.

For grotesques, I recommend Lincoln Cathedral, which has a whole wall of them on the pulpitum.

Triffids I am not sure I can help you with, though a well overgrown rhubarb patch could hide a few...

salisbury has some nifty ones too

At the cathedral?

[gnommi.livejournal.com]

yep =)

and the architecture in central manchester is amazing too, especially the city hall... you get gargoyles and mythological beasties crawling all over in places you least expect, a little in the style of the NHM in london

think you'll make F*ck Buttons by the way? I am getting a ticket on Monday

Think I might come along. My timetable doesn't indicate any coursework in on the next day or anything, although it does mention a trip to the London Underground Control room a few days before that, which sounds like fun. :)

I don't recommend West Malling, since I failed to find any grotesques, despite what the Reader's Digest book told me. Perhaps I should have spent longer looking, but it was getting dark.

I've always been quite suspicious of rhubarb. I wonder what triffid liqueur would taste like.

I've really been enjoying your enchanted tress appearing on flickr. They look as though they should be, oh I don't know, a series of book covers perhaps. Gorgeous.

Thanks!

The trees looked very pretty lit up as they were. More trees should be.

Happy new year!
Does the Sheffield Park enchanted garden have any connection with the Syon Park one? It looks to be a very similar idea. Either way, excellent pics, as ever :)

Happy New Year to you also!

I don't think they had any connection, but I'm not that sure, since they were quite similar indeed (although Sheffield Park had less fairies). Sheffield Park is owned by the National Trust, but Syon Park isn't.

oh you twittered it

I've been a bit lazy about updating LJ recently, so it exists only in Twitter and Flickr currently.

I have! Thanks for that. :) I'm about halfway through it, but currently rather distracted by coursework.
