Kitchen view

Herb · Post by **Herb** » Jan 17, 2006 6:33 pm

Our kitchen has a table at one end where we eat many of our meals. It's next to a bay window that overlooks the garden.

We don't claim that it looks like a garden in Kyoto, but all the same we've tried to follow (here and elsewhere in the garden) many of the ideas and principles that the Journal of Japanese Gardening recommends, especially their stress on having a view of your garden from inside the house, and we enjoy the results.

It's difficult to take pictures through the window because reflections in it tend to make the pictures hazy, but a polarising filter seems to have helped a bit.

Isn't it just lovely to be able to sit and drink your morning coffee and look out onto such a clean peaceful scene

Now that April's here & the grass has been cut, the breakfast table view's a lot tidier....
