Beautiful landscaping and sculptures!

It’s a miserable day outside so I thought I’d share some pics from the place I’m staying. Many details made me think of members of the IH community. Hope it’s not too much!
The main room:
Shells and icicles for @Aetas:
Some rope work for @Giles:
A door that somehow makes me think of @Oaktavia’s house in the woods:
A suspended stone ceiling for @Mister_Brue - when the building was restored it was tied to the solid floor above with steel cables:
And finally, an extract from the history of the building on the alleged benefits of cold baths:
“At that time people took a bath mainly for medicinal reasons. We know Sir Charles suffered from gout and his doctor would certainly have advised him that a cold dip would be beneficial for this ailment. A cold bath was also held to calm the nerves, improve digestion, invigorate the spirits, and even help to retain "an equal bodily weight". Lengthy immersion was not advised, in case it resulted in a Horror!”
No Horrors experienced so far

@ARNC said in WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY - WAYDT (PICS):
not to stray from the path through the woods in case you get shot!
Sounds like a lovely spot for a holiday @arnc!

Not doing much other than watching but had to cut down Bertha. Sad to see her go but will bring some piece of mind heading into winter.

Finished up a painting today. I’ve been painting with an airbrush for a while. It’s something I find very peaceful, which can be hard to find.
Any Alien fans, please don’t rip me apart too badly
