The Wedding Cake, Waddesdon Manor, Buckinghamshire

The Folly Flâneuse celebrated her birthday this week, and what better way to mark the occasion than with an enormous cake? Although sadly this one is not edible. As many of the buildings featured in these pages are gone, it was a real birthday treat to see this new folly, recently constructed to ornament the Waddesdon landscape. Continue reading Untitled

The Last Scotland Post

As my forced continued stay in Scotland continued, I was running out of activities I could do while keeping a distance from others.

It was a good day to be outside, so I decided it was a good day to check out a couple of the museums. The National Gallery had a lot of historical works by famous artists and be Scot artists, but not much of extra interest if you've been to major art museums. The Monarch of the Glen was the one unique work that really says Scotland.

More interesting was the National Museum. The main building was centered on a great glass roofed gallery.

It was like a compact Smithsonian, covering a huge range of topics, engineering, science, natural history, Scottish History and more. It would really be great for students as it is large enough to be interesting, but small enough not to be overwhelming.

They had an exhibit of Japanese ceramics that included some contemporary works. The star object was by Hitomi Hosono "A Large Pine Tree Pool" The detail in the porcelain was amazing.

I had been doing self tests every couple of days, and they continued to be positive. But the positive line kept taking longer to show up and getting fainter. But then it was the day before my flight, time for the official certified test. So Thursday morning I was there at 8:30 for the test. An hour later I got my results: Negative; I could go home.

I uploaded the information to United and it was accepted. But I still had the rest of the day to kill. So another search of "Things To Do in Edinburgh." There I found a new one "Jupiter Artland." An art themed park about a 45 minute bus ride from downtown. But what the hell, I had nothing else to do. So I used Google Maps to get bus directions and I headed out. It didn't take long to figure out that while Google probably had the right bus route, but name of the bus stops had little resemblance to the names the bus companies used.

So I got on the bus and asked the driver, and he confirmed it was the right line. I told him the bus company web site was telling me to use this bus, but not where to get off. He agreed to shout out when I should get off. It worked fine. He also pointed out where to catch the bus back. I checked the names of the bus stops on the signs. They didn't weren't on either Google Maps or the bus company web site list of stops. But I got there and back, so all was well.

Clearly Jupiter Artland was created by a family with a large estate and an interest in Modern outdoor sculpture. Frankly I didn't find much of the sculpture interesting. It's also a bit strange that the house is still private and in the middle of the Artland.

But the grounds were nice and it was a nice day to be out, so no complaints from me.

The best work was a landscape of sculpted hills.

So after a pleasant time in the countryside, it was back to the hotel to do the final packing. Friday morning I took the tram back to the airport and flew home.

Part way home I got texts from people letting me know that the whole testing and 10 day delay program was ending in two days.

Too late for this trip, but it makes me feel better about planning the next one.

"Jupiter Ascension" by Jen Caywood Signpost to Jupiter is an aluminium and stovepipe enamel sign that points skywards, towards the planet Jupiter, at a 70 degree angle. It bears the inscription ‘Jupiter – 893 million to 964 million kilometres’, denoting the distance from Jupiter Artland to the planet Jupiter; a distance that constantly changes due to the elliptical orbits that both the Earth and Jupiter make around the Sun.
