Goodbye, door!

The walled garden is at the end of our garden, and the land owner has told us that he's about to let it to a woman who walks dogs. Lulu has lived a very sheltered, peaceful life here for the past 6 years, and so in order that she won't freak out every day (dogs freak her out), we're going to cover up the door with plywood. (The dog woman will be coming and going by another entrance on the opposite side.)

But that rather depressed me as I love looking through the wall. So I had the brilliant idea of asking our artist friend, Bruce, down in Brighton, to paint a panel to cover the door. I rang him this morning and he's agreed! He's painted beautiful panels on two of the doors of his own house, and I'm really looking forward to ours.
