I decided I had to get out and I wandered into Bishops Stortford curiously the rain stopped and the sun came out so what to do?
Now as a youngster growing up I couldn't help but be aware of the sculptor Henry Moore. A sculpture of his "Family Group" is one I passed by many times. Nearby at Perry Green is The Henry Moore foundation and it's where Moore and his wife Irina lived.
Today you can visit his home Hoglands and stroll around his garden and enjoy a number of his sculptures.

Looks an interesting place to visit. The sculptures look fascinating! Glad the rain stopped for you :)
Very interesting works of art. I think I like the reclining figure best as it must look awesome at a distance.
