Petit English Garden of MARPLE & POIROT

My wife and I started gardening in Fukuoka (Japan) in 2003. There was nothing but muddy clayey sloping land. At the beginning we made several structure such as steps and paths, and planted turf, fruit trees, roses, herbs etc. In 2010, we visited several famous English gardens, including Sissinghurst Castle Garden, Mottisfont Abbey Garden and Hidcote Manor Garden. We were shocked by the glory of those gardens. Since then, we have been trying to make small but glorious gardens by ourselves.

庭の紹介

　夫婦で庭づくりを福岡の郊外で2003年に始めました.　赤土むきだしの斜面にまず階段や園路をつくって芝をはり、果樹やバラ、ハーブなどを植えました.

　2010年にイギリスの有名なガーデンの、シシングハースト、モティスフォントアビー、ヒドコートマナーなどを回り、その素晴らしさに圧倒され、それから自分たちで小さくても素晴らしい庭をめざして庭づくりをつづけています.

THREE-STOREY CAROUSEL IN HUIS TEN BOSCH (ハウステンボスの三階建てメリーゴーランド)

We took our first ride on the three-storey merry-go-round, which was built in Huis Ten Bosch in December 2022.

There was a queue for each floor, the first floor could be ridden quickly, but the third floor had a lot of queuing.

As we climbed the stairs, we could see better around us and took a ride on a horse-drawn carriage. It was like a dream as it slowly started to go round.

2022年12月にハウステンボスにできた三階建てのメリーゴーランドに初めて乗ってみました。

それぞれの階毎に行列があり、1階はすぐ乗れますが、3階はたくさんの行列でした。

階段を上っていくと周りが良く見えるようになり、馬車に乗りました。ゆっくりと回りだすと、夢のような時間でした。

Dear Poirot
I love a Carousel and have done ever since I was little. I haven't ever seen a three tiered one though! You got a lovely view from the top tier.
Best wishes
Ellie
