What they undertook to do
They brought to pass;
All things hang like a drop of dew
Upon a blade of grass.

We created this - this year! 🤯 If you’re spending time outdoors over the festive period and are able to get to calderstones park, worth taking a min or two to get lost in literature and landscape 🌲 📚

These videos really do sum it all up.
Fun fact about me: I use a ‘teenagers’ wheelchair. It’s tiny. 23inches wide.
If I’m struggling to get through these “gaps”, they are completely impassable for most wheelchair users and visually impaired people with dogs.
Pavements must be kept clear enough for pedestrians.
