Answers to last weeks quiz!🏆

✨Question - Ever wondered why the Yurt was first brought to Michaels Folly and what its purpose was?
Hint - it was NOT to hire out for guests to stay in like it is now.. 🍀

✨For those who guessed yoga or dance classes, thank you for commenting, the answer is completely different! The Yurt was originally bought to store the light boxes for viewing Tessa’s stained glass window creations, as no structure on the land was large enough to hold them. .glassart

Tessa’s art has played a pivotal role in shaping Michael’s Folly today, and we are so grateful to her that the Yurt is there now to host fellow nature lovers and gatherings. We’ve had such special gatherings there.

Wishing you all a beautiful week ahead!✨

With love
