A Magical Place

I recently spent a morning combining a bit of business with pleasure at one of my favourite inspirational places, Yorkshire Sculpture Park.  It was a busy week and I was feeling a little burnt out and as soon as I see those rolling hills and creaking trees, I always breathe a sigh of relief and my batteries start to recharge.  It's a place of great tranquillity and serenity.  After three brief but meaningful business meetings I headed towards the Chapel, a very special spiritual place where I always find some peace.  A new exhibition has opened recently which I was really looking forward to seeing - Beyond Time by Chiharu Shiota.   I gasped and got goosebumps as I walked in. I could have spent 3 hours in there, her work is so quietly beautiful, fascinating and calming.  I was spellbound.  I don't want to write about it, my words wouldn't do it justice.  I urge you to see for yourselves.  And if you go to the Chapel, please speak quietly!

YSP is a national treasure and I feel so lucky to have it on my doorstep.  I go there for inspiration and to dust off the cobwebs as often as I can.  If you haven't been, I can't emphasise enough what a feast it is for ALL the senses.
