Time to say farewell to our mirror man....

He came here last September for a short stay and seems to have become part of the garden, never really gave him a name so we called him Mirror Man - what else ?
He is a life sized sculpture from a local artist Rob Mulholand who has created these amongst other works for public spaces, really love them. Mind you it did take us about a month to get used to the humanly apparition in the garden, we found ourselves catching a subliminal glance and expecting a real person, and as for walking around the dark, that can be very weird indeed.

If we had the cash we would buy him but alas no so its time for him to move onto pastures new ..  somewhere !
Farewell ..  and thanks Rob.
