Grizedale: Sally Matthews 1

I first went to Grizedale when I was about 7 and have always remembered it vividly. I went there again last week, and the entire place had changet, the land had changed, some of the sculptures had gone, and some had been left to wither away into the forest.

I remember when I was younger that we were searching for a famous Sally Matthews sculpture. Last week we found them by accident. They are not on the new Grizedale maps, and they were dying. I found that some of my favourites from years ago had been removed, I tried to look around the areas that they used to be, but the entire forest has been re-shaped in almost a sculpture of its own.
