A Love of Sundials

I love sundials. I always have. There's something about that theme of time that stirs the soul in both pleasant and mournful ways. Add a garden to the equation, the passing of the seasons, and the impact is even greater.

I have a cheap (though it doesn't look too tacky) sundial in the small area of garden I call The Sundial Garden -

 

I also made the following sundial from a sundial plaque and a birdbath but it has since been dismantled and turned back into a birdbath again, and the sundial plaque put on my patio table -

Although looking at it in that photo, I might, perhaps, put it back together as a sundial.

But the point of this entry is that I bought myself an Armillary -

 

 

It was only £19.99 (free delivery).

 

I'm just dithering about what to do with it now. Where to put it. I think that I'll do some re-arranging once the new trellis has been erected. And pinch one of my statue plinths to put it on.

 

Eventually, I'd like to treat myself to a good quality stone sundial. But for now, a restricted budget means I have to make do with cheap(er) versions.

 

But one can dream...
