This white Horse on the hillside was after Westbury & before Reading - I'll check on an Ordnance survey map & try & identify it.

Chapel Porth Beach, Febuary 2005, tide going out, bitter cold wind blowing.
One of my favourite places to sit and blow out the cobwebs.

Pomegranates Nr Moncaret France, March 2005
These seemed to symbolise the end of winter to me, they were dry & split & empty - still on the tree but all around them the branches were shooting with the start of the new spring growth.
I read the story of Persephone as a child & its always stayed with me.

Table & Chairs, Chateau Les Milandes, Dordogne, France, April 2005

This was Josephine Baker's Chateau - its now open to the public & worth a visit. It was the first day of the season and the tables and chairs just set out and the gravel freshly raked. I liked the shadows of the trees cast across the gravel

Chateau Marquessac, Dordogne France, March 2005, Topiary Garden

This view from above onto part of the Topiary garden looked like a mini landscape in its own right - like something out of the wizard of Oz maybe?
