Hi Dot
Even more curious is the fact that a few houses down from this one their is a statue of a HORSE in the garden. If you lokk at this post

Love the old anchor but as Dot said how odd? Doesn't really fit in!!!

I love the anchor. Wonder what the story is behind it? My dad was a seaman; he would have loved this!

Great shot, what a strange place to leave an anchor! :o)

It's been there for at least 20 years that I know of......must have been a very high tide as we are a fair way from the sea...lol

Tenderness contains an element of sadness. It is not the sadness of feeling sorry for yourself or feeling deprived, but it is a natural situation of fullness. You feel so full and rich, as if you were about to shed tears. Your eyes are full of tears, and the moment you blink, the tears will spill out of your eyes and roll down your cheeks. In order to be a good warrior, one has to feel this sad and tender heart. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
