After various attempts thwarted by snow, and children having social engagements, our lovely friends SImon Sarah and Tilly came for lunch one day in the half term. (Simon bravely struggling with a cold, but determined not to cancel yet again)
We had an excellent walk on the grounds of Chatsworth House, which was closed, but I was very pleased to discover they had moved one of my favorite sculptures into the courtyard of the shop and restaurant area, the old stables, a fitting location for ‘war horse’.
War Horse
By Elisabeth Frink
The War Horse, made in 1991, apart from being a magnificent piece of sculpture, is important to Chatsworth because when it arrived here in it was the first piece of contemporary sculpture to be installed in the garden for 150 years.
