Photographing letters of the alphabet really shouldn't be this difficult but I have left taking pictures for this week's blog until today (whoops) but here we are. The letter S made of phox in the garden is quite significant for me as my Grandma has a photograph of her Grandad standing beside the monument as he was a head gardener there. After abit of internet searching I found that the monument is in honour of the man who designed the gardens, the inscription 'he made the desert smile' is reference to the fact that he transformed the grounds of the hall completely. Grandma's family have always had connections to Uttoxeter and the surrounding area. The bookworm on the S is from the Storyland area and X Sector is where I screamed like a complete girl on Oblivion and lost my voice! Happy days.
